After the victory in the fanfare with Aberdeen from the National Arena, score 3-0, FCSB awarded its qualification in the unique group of Europa League, being, for the second consecutive year, the only representative of Romania in the second best competition. The draw will take place tomorrow, in Monaco, from 2:00 pm.

The 36 teams participating in the draw will be divided into four urns, depending on the UEFA coefficient of clubs. The red-blue will be in the third ballot box.

Unlike last season, when the extraction was done manually, this time the process will be fully automated: the computer will generate from a single movement the full program of each team, opponents and matches at home/travel, but they will be gradually revealed, with a ballot box.

Each band will meet two opponents in each urn, once on their own ground and once away.

Urn 1: Rome, Porto, Rangers, Feyenoord, Lille, Dinamo Zagreb, Betis, Salzburg, Aston Villa
Urna 2: Fenerbahce, Braga, Red Star Belgrade, Lyon, Viktoria Plzen, Ferencvaros, Celtic, PAOK, Maccabi Tel Aviv
Urna 3: Young Boys, Basel, Midtjyland, Frediburg, Ludogorets, Nottingham Forest, Sturm Graz, FcsbNice
