Europa league 1st Round draw. FC Lusitans (Andorra) 2nd & 9th July
One of these five.
West Ham know their first-round opponents will be one of Qabala FK (Azerbaijan), KF Renova (Macedonia), FC Lusitans (Andorra), Newtown (Wales) or FK Olimpic Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina).

First leg now at Upton Park

The games have been switched so the first leg is now at Upton Park on 2 July. This is because another Andorran side has also been drawn at home on that date.

Re: Europa league draw.
From a team point of you, we want to do the minimum in terms of travelling. So Wales or Andorra for me.

Re: Europa league draw.
Getting into Barcelona (for Andorra) is pretty expensive around those dates, even Easyjet is over 200

I've always wanted to visit Sarajevo but would be better for the team to play the Welsh

Gabala FK (Azerbaijan)

Known in the UK as the team which Tony Adams coached back in 2010, Gabala FK are fairly well-off. They made their European debut last season in the Europa League first qualifying round, losing 5-0 on aggregate to Siroki Brijeg. They are also known as Qabala FK.


FK Renova (Macedonia)

FK Renova were Macedonian champions in 2010 and cup winners in 2012. This season they finished fourth to qualify for Europe. The clubs ground, Gradski Stadion Tetovo has a capacity of 15,000. Their last appearance in Europe was in 2012, where they beat AC Libertas in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, before losing to FC Gomel.


FC Lusitanos (Andorra)

Lusitanos are only 16 years old, with their home ground holding 900 supporters. They won the Primera Divisio in 2012 and 2013, which gave them back-to-back entry into the Champions League qualifiers. However, on both occasions they didnt make it past the first phase. They have played a total of eight European matches since their first appearance in 2010 and have yet to win one, scoring only four and conceding 33.


Newtown (Wales)

Finished sixth in the Welsh Premier League, but qualified by winning the Europa League play-off final with a 2-1 victory over Aberystwyth. Their last appearance in Europe was in 1998, where they lost 7-0 on aggregate to Wisla Krakow in the UEFA Cup first round. Their home ground, GF Grigg Latham Park holds 5,000 fans. They are one of three clubs who have been part of the Welsh top-flight since its formation in 1992, along with Bangor City and Aberystwyth.


Olimpic Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Finally Olimpic have qualified for Europe, after many near misses. They won the Bosnian and Herzegovinian Cup on penalties against Siroki Brijeg in the final to claim their place in the competition for the first time. Nicknamed, The Wolves, the club play their home games the at the 3,000-seater Stadion Otoka.

Is it 100% from those 5? (the writer seems to think that UEFA have ditched the regionalisation rule for this years tournament)

Spot on. Even more emphasis on the Wales fixtutre for me. Would be like a standard away game and do us a massive favour.

Re: Europa league draw.
I hope all these wanting Wales have 20+ Points

Mr. Burns 12:01 Mon Jun 22
Re: Europa league draw.
Croe,

I'm thinking more from a footballing standpoint than attending.

Eddie B 12:03 Mon Jun 22
Re: Europa league draw.
How do we know we're gonna get one from these?

Re: Europa league draw.
What time is the draw?

Re: Europa league draw.
Eddie B 12:03 Mon Jun 22

UEFA have grouped these together

Buster 12:05 Mon Jun 22
Re: Europa league draw.
Is there then another grouping done for the second round, or will one of these be our opponents for that as well?

Re: Europa league draw.
Mr. Burns 12:01 Mon Jun 22

None of these should be a problem

whufcroe 12:05 Mon Jun 22
Re: Europa league draw.
Buster 12:05 Mon Jun 22

Yep. after the first round draw

Mr. Burns 12:07 Mon Jun 22
Re: Europa league draw.
whufcroe 12:05 Mon Jun 22

Yep, I'm thinking more from a travel point of view. First game close to home, not too much travel ease our way into the competition. Save ourselves for the later rounds.
