Full UEFA Europa Conference League draw with Tottenham drawn against either Pacos de Ferreira or Larne in the play-offs

Posted by

The draw has already been made for the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League, with Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, having been drawn against either Pacos de Ferreira or Larne in the play-off round.

The new competition is for those sides finishing just outside the Europa League places, and is therefore third in the European football order of merit behind the Champions League and Europa League.

It’s clear that the governing body want to inject more excitement into European competition, but it’s difficult to know at this stage whether the Europa Conference League will be overkill or a decent addition to the football calendar.
