With the conclusion of seasons in many European leagues, the teams that will participate in UEFA competitions next year have largely been determined. As the teams that will compete in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League are gradually becoming clear, an important development that closely concerns Fenerbahçe has occurred.
In a critical match in the Austrian Bundesliga, Austria Wien and Blau-Weiss Linz faced off. The match entered its final minutes with Austria Wien in the lead, but with an equalizer in the 90+2nd minute, the game ended 2-2.
With this result, Austria Wien lost its chance to participate in the Champions League qualifiers. Salzburg, which finished high in the league, became the side to secure a Champions League ticket.
Following this result from Austria, the possibility of Fenerbahçe being a seeded team in the Champions League qualifiers has been eliminated.
This situation has increased the likelihood of the yellow-navy blues being drawn against tough opponents.
Fenerbahçe's potential opponents in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round are as follows:
Benfica
Club Brugge/Salzburg
Rangers
Feyenoord
