After the success in the “double” with Istanbul Basakșehir, for the first time in Mihai Rotaru, Craiova University will participate in the groups of a European competition: Conference League. The draw for the third continental competition will take place tomorrow, from 2:00 pm, in Monaco, as is the case with the Europa League.

The 36 teams will be distributed in six groups of six, depending on the UEFA club coefficient. The Oltenians will be placed in the last ballot box.

Unlike last season, when the draw was done manually, extrading the teams one by one, this time the process will be fully digitized: the computer will establish all the opponents and the program of the matches (at home and away), and they will be announced in a row.

Each team will meet an opponent in each of the six ballot boxes, playing a game at home and one away within each pair of groups: 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6.

What does the urns for the single league league group look like:

Urn 1: Fiorentina, Az Alkmaar, Shahtior, Slovan Bratislava, Rapid Vienna, Legia
Urna 2: Sparta Prague, Dinamo Kiev, Crystal Palace, Lech Poznan, Rayo Vallecano, Shamrock Rovers
Urna 3: Omonia Nicosia, Mainz, Strasbourg, Jagiellonia, Celje, Rijeka
