The Champions League will start only ten days after Liverpool were crowned champions in Madrid. The preliminary draw is being held for the champions of the four national associations with the lowest coefficient to enter the competition.

The draw will be held at noon and will enter the Gibraltarian Lincoln Red Imps, FC Santa Coloma from Andorra (top), Tre Penne from San Marino and the Kosovian Feronikeli.

This is a mini-tournament to be played at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina (Kosovo) with two semi-finals (25 June) and one final (28 June).

The champions will enter the first qualifying round (9-10 and 16-17 July), which will be drawn on 18 June, in which the 33 champions of the associations 18 to 51 enter excluding Liechtenstein.

The three teams that do not succeed will advance to the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
