The End of Speculation! Here is a Complete List of Potential Competitors of Polish Clubs in Europe
After the end of the season in the national leagues in other European cities, Polish clubs also know much more. It is already clear that the first team from Ekstraklasa that will be followed in European cups will be Legia. The team, which is still waiting for a new coach after the departure of Goncalo Feio, will play its first round matches of the Europa League qualifiers on July 10 and 17.
She will find out her opponent after the draw on June 17, but it is already known that she will be seeded and will bypass rivals such as Malmoe from Sweden, FCSB from Romania and Olimpija Ljubljana from Slovenia.
Polish clubs got to know all their potential rivals in EuropeThe military team knows that they will play in the Europa League qualifiers after winning the Polish Cup on May 2nd. They only finished fifth in the Ekstraklasa, but their cup victory meant that they are currently not playing for the Conference League, but a level higher. However, to play in the league phase of this competition, they have to beat four opponents. They met those in the first and second rounds after Sabah Baku took home the Azerbaijan Cup. Despite the seeding, there are still a few opponents who could try to put up a fair fight with the Polish club.
Legia Warsaw's potential rivals in the 1st round of EL qualifications- AEK Larnaca (Cyprus)
- BK Hacken (Sweden)
- Paks (Hungary)
- Levski (Bulgaria)
- Sabah (Azerbaijan)
- Ilves (Finland)
- Aktobe (Kazakhstan)
- KF Pristina (Kosovo)
Let's recall that last season Legia reached the quarter-finals of the Conference League, and thanks to their performances in Europe over the last five years, they can boast a coefficient of (31,000). This gives them a certain seeding and the second round will be no different. However, you can still come across teams such as Besiktas from the Turkish Superliga or Romanian Cluj. Let's recall that in the event of elimination from the LE qualifiers, the team drops to the next round of the LK qualifiers.

- CFR Cluj (Romania)
- Hapoel Beer Sheva (Israel)
- Besiktas (Türkiye)
- NK Celje (Slovenia)
- Utrecht (Netherlands)
- Baník Ostrava (Czech Republic)
- Spartak Trnava (Slovakia)
- Hibernian FC (Scotland)
Lech Poznań is the new Polish champion, but its coefficient of 19,000 is not as impressive. It will still be seeded in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers. This means that it will not yet meet, for example, FC Copenhagen or Hungarian Ferencvaros. However, it may face Rijeka from Croatia or Cypriot Pafos. Fans are waiting for the first promotion, which would mean participation in at least the league phase of the Conference League. In the third round, Kolejorz can no longer count on being seeded. Niels Frederiksen's team will play its first matches on July 22 or 23 (draw on June 18).
Potential rivals of Lech Poznań in the 2nd round of Champions League qualifications:- Rijeka (Croatia)

- Buducnost Podgorica (Montenegro)
The Polish vice-champion and the third team of Ekstraklasa will start from the second round of the Conference League qualifiers and in both cases we are talking about seeding. Both Raków and Jagiellonia may therefore face the same teams. This will change only after a possible promotion. The team from Białystok has a chance of being seeded with a coefficient of 14,000 even in the play-offs [4th round]. However, in the second round it is possible to face Aris Limassol from Cyprus, Swedish AIK or Hammarby.
