C'mon, just give us Hibernians.
Is there any regionalising in the ECL qualifying rounds?
Does the draw format follow that of EL previously in which the pool of teams is split into groups of 10 (5 seeded, 5 unseeded)?
I’m not sure if they’ve officially announced how it’s going to be done but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s split in to the groups by some form of regionalisation in the early rounds, especially this year to help with any travel restrictions etc.
Based on how they’ve done it in recent years we’re probably more likely to be playing one of the UK/Ireland teams, or someone from the Faroes, Iceland or one of the Scandinavian countries
Thanks, in that case we can probably reduce that list St Pauli posted to something like the below.
Dynamo Brest (Belarus)
Winners of match involving KUPS (Finland)
Winners of match involving FH (Iceland)
Valerenga (Norway)
Hammarby IF (Sweden)
BK Hacken (Sweden)
IF Elfsborg (Sweden)
Winners of match involving Liepaja (Latvia)
Winners of match involving FCI Levadia Tallinn (Estonia)
Winners of match involving Stjarnan (Iceland)
Torpedo Zhodino (Belarus)
Winners of match involving NSI Runavik (Faroe Islands)
Winners of match involving Coleraine (Northern Ireland)
Winners of match involving Bala Town (Wales)
Panevezys (Lithuania)
I am sure I saw on twitter last night we had drawn the winners of a match in Hungary (Winners of match involving Puskas Academia). It was late so my eyes would not be at their best then but I saw the Saltire then Hibernian vs Winners of match involving Puskas Academia (Hungary), 1st leg at home. I assume the draw hasn't been made and what I saw was someones attempt at a 'practise' draw of something similar.
Hopefully we don't get a Swedish or Norwegian side.
When is the draw being made?
