Champions League Draw Today


A fantastic achievement by Dundalk from Ireland to make it to the UEFA Champions League final Qualifying Round, the Play-off to enter the UEFA Champions League Group Stages this season.

They have done the easy part, now comes the hard part, I wish them all the best in their endeavours.

There are 20 teams in the draw with pots for league winners, those with a league position but a high UEFA coefficient figure (a calculation they use to determine a sides strength).
