The contract was made. We already know who won the Champions League qualifiers, who came in second and third, and who also secured a fourth direct ticket to European football. KAA Gent has now secured the last European ticket via a jump-off duel.
Club Brugge: Champions League group stage
The champion immediately guarantees qualification to the group stage of the Champions League for the 2024-2025 season. This season will be one with 36 teams and four home and four away matches for all teams against eight different opponents.
The Blue and Black will likely be in Pot 2 of the draw, although that has become a bit less important due to the open system.
Union SG: Champions League third qualifying round
This season, the runner-up will earn a place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, where the match will be played in the non-champions track. Possible opponents in the third (and fourth) qualifying round are Rangers, Slavia Prague, Lille and Salzburg. The draw will be held on July 22, and the matches will be held on August 6 and 7 and August 13 and 14.
Anderlecht: Europa League qualifiers
The number three in the Jupiler Pro League could go to the Europa League qualifiers this season. Possible rivals could be Ajax Amsterdam, Braga, LASK Linz or Midtjylland, among others. The draw is scheduled to take place on August 5, and will be held on August 22 and 29.
Cercle Brugge: Second preliminary round of the Europa League
The number four player in the competition must start two rounds earlier in the Europa League. She has the advantage of already being a seed in the first round. Possible opponents include Silkeborg, Wisla Krakow, Kilmarnock and Panathinaikos. The draw will take place on June 19, with the matches being held on July 25 and August 1.
KAA Gent: Second preliminary round of the Conference League
For the cheapest European ticket, we turn to the Conference League. However, the Buffalos are the seed in all of the preliminary rounds and could start against Hacken, Tre Penne, Derry City, Cliftonville or HB Torshavn, among others. The draw will take place on June 19, with the matches being held on July 25 and August 1.
