If Chelsea or Spurs win the Europa League

[bainesontoast]

Where would their Europa League place go assuming they qualify for the Champions League too?

 

[Degs62]

It would definitely go to another team.

 

[somuchfun]

I don't think the Europa League champion qualifies for CL.

....hint of desparation, its hardly likely to impact us.

Ah. Thought it was just a badly written sentence.

Qualification can be quite complicated if one team qualifies for European competition through two different routes. In all cases, if a club is eligible to enter the UEFA Champions League then the Champions League place takes precedence and the club does not enter the UEFA Europa League. The UEFA Europa League place is then granted to another club. If a team qualifies for European competition through both winning a cup and league placing, the "spare" UEFA Europa League place will go to either the cup runners-up or the highest placed league team which has not already qualified for European competition, depending on the rules of the national association.

If the previous UEFA Europa League title-holders are not eligible to take part in either of the current UEFA club competitions (UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League) by virtue of their domestic form, the UEFA Administration may, at the request of the association of the club concerned, admit this club to the current UEFA Europa League competition. Its participation will not be at the expense of the contingent of its association.

It would go to the RS because they are Barcelona in disguise.

so potentially to 6th

 

[riddick]

i think its the same as if the Champions League team won and they were in the top4, so no extra spot is allocated. Most likely wrong tho.


*see, not even a minute later and most likely wrong already!

Wiagn or Millwall get it as far as i thought,we needed a final of 2 from 3 of city/man utd or chelsea

This was on the What the papers say section on the OS -

Liverpool and Everton could be handed a boost in their bid to reach Europe next season following Easter Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final.

With Chelsea due to host Manchester United in a replay at Stamford Bridge, victory for the Blues would put them in a semi-final tie with Manchester City.

But should Rafael Benitez’s team go on to win the FA Cup and finish in fifth spot, the west London side would have qualified for the Europa League in two different ways.

In that event, the Blues would reach the tournament through their FA Cup win, with no UEFA rules stating that the domestic cup runners-up would take the vacated spot. That could open up a possible place for the sixth-placed Premier League side.

UEFA only state that the runners-up of the FA Cup are handed a European spot if the winners have already qualified for the Champions League.

Chelsea currently sit fourth in the Premier League which would see them reach the Champions League next season, but with Tottenham and Arsenal narrowly ahead and behind respectively, one of the London rivals is set to miss out on Europe’s premier club competition next term.

England’s spots for the Europa League go to the FA Cup winners, League Cup winners and fifth place in the Premier League, meaning an extra spot in the league could open the door for Everton and Liverpool who are sat sixth and seventh in the table respectively.

Should Chelsea win the Europa League there are no additional places in the competition handed to the Premier League, even if the Blues finish fifth and win the FA Cup.

If Chelsea’s only trophy win comes through the Europa League and they finish lower than fifth, they would defend their trophy and it wouldn’t come at the expense of the contingent of the English clubs.

still all complicated and not very hopeful really

English winners of the UEFA Europa League will enter at the Group Stage, gaining an extra domestic place only if they fail to qualify through other means for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League. If the holders of the UEFA Europa League have already qualified for Europe, no extra domestic place will be gained.

 

[tasslehoff]

Only goes to 6th of Barnsley with the Johnsons paint trophy and Kirkby Town FC (who have to re-form admittedly) win the Liverpool senior cup.

ITS ON

If the holders of the UEFA Europa League have already qualified for Europe, no extra domestic place will be gained.

Which means only 5th will get a Europa League spot. Swansea City from the Leaque Cup, and 1 from the 5 teams left in the FA Cup.
