The adjustment of the next Champions League maintains sanctions of Russian clubs for aggression in Ukraine imposed by the UEFA Executive Committee, a situation that causes a new competition design to fill these vacancies.
In this way both the champion of Champions, Real Madrid, like the winner of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt, their presence on the group stage is assured. This means it has removed the area reserved for the club that was ranked first in the Spanish League.
In accordance with the UEFA Champions League Regulations 2022/23 and the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee of May 2, 2022 and the resulting adaptation of the access list, the vacancy created by the Champions League winner must be filled by national champions of the league ranked 12th on the access list.

This means that the champions of the Ukrainian league, Dinamo kyiv, will take place in the group stage of the Champions League which is first reserved for first place in Spain. Access directly without having to go through the previous play off qualifying round.
In addition to this change, something else will apply to the next edition of the Champions League:
– The Danish champions, Copenhagen, go directly to the play-off round without having to pass the previous round of the Champions League.
– Serbian champions Red Star will enter
the third qualifying round of the Champions League, rather than the second qualifying round.
• Greece and Israel champions, Olympiakos and Hapoel Holon, advanced to the second qualifying round, rather than the first qualifying round.
Eintracht Frankfurt have direct access to the Champions League group stage as Europa League champions. Since he did not meet his qualification for Europe in the Bundesliga, no vacancy was created.
PSV Eindhoven fill the vacancy in Roma’s group stage in the Europa League
Also in the Europa League there is a reorganization that stems from the fact that La Roma, Conference League champions and automatically qualifying for the Europa League group stage, have achieved their presence in the competition. According to UEFA regulations, his position will be covered by Dutch Cup champion, PSV Eindhoven, who will go straight to the group stage.
In addition, the Cypriot Cup champion, Omona Nicosia, will start playing directly in the final round instead of in the third round of the competition. The Czech Republic Cup champion, Slovacko, continues to play in the third round of the Europa League instead of in the Conference League, a competition that was initially held.
Conference League changes
And this move by the Czech Cup champion affects the Conference League, the third competition in Europe. So the Cup champion in Greece, Panathinaikos, continues to play in the third round instead of in the second. Cup winners in Latvia and Albania continue to play in the second round of the Conference League instead of the first round.
All of this will result in a reorganization in the previous stage of this Conference League. Finally there will be 18 teams that will participate in previous Conference League rounds. Fifteen initials where 3 teams from the preliminary round were added. Since there are usually 20 and ten teams required for the third round of this Conference League, UEFA has arranged that two of the 15 pairs from the first qualifying round of the Conference League will be allocated directly to the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
