Czech club Karvina has been excluded from the Europa League for participating in match-fixing.

According to Offsideplus.az, this decision has altered the composition of the pots for the playoff stage of the tournament.

As a result of Karvina's decision, Qarabag has now moved up to the seeded teams in the third qualifying round. This means our team will also be among the seeded teams in the playoff draw.

This information was reported by the Football Meets Data portal.

It has also been confirmed that Rangers and Salzburg, who are in the same pots, will participate in the playoff draw, which will take place before the matches of the third qualifying round.
