On November 17, 2023, CCTV5 program list, the final round of the European Cup qualifiers was held yesterday, and the qualification quota of each group was also determined. Among them, the most controversial is the promotion rules of the European League play off. The European League play off will be participated by 16 teams to compete for the last four places. These teams are the best performing teams in the European League, But it is not necessarily the strongest team, which makes some fans and experts question whether the UEFA playoff is fair? Team D is expected to break the history?
The rules for the promotion of the UEFA playoffs are as follows: four teams at each level will be divided into two semi-finals, the winner will enter the final, and the winner of the final will be awarded the place in the European Cup. In this way, one team at each level will be promoted to the European Cup, which means that, A, B, C and D will have a team qualified for the European Cup, which means that some powerful teams, such as Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Turkey, will have to compete for a place in the play off of A, while some weaker teams, such as Kosovo, Belarus, Macedonia and Georgia, will compete for a place in D Some fans and experts believe that such a rule is unfair because it deprives some strong teams of the opportunity to advance directly, while some weak teams have the chance to get lucky.
The original purpose of the rules for the promotion of the European League of Nations play off is to allow more teams to participate in the European Cup, and also to make the European League of Nations games more meaningful and attractive. However, such rules have also brought some negative effects. On the one hand, they have reduced the level and competitiveness of the European Cup, and some powerful teams may not be eligible for the European Cup, However, some weaker teams may enter the European Cup, which may reduce the quality of the European Cup and the enjoyment of the European Cup. On the other hand, it increases the uncertainty and risk of the European Cup qualifiers. Some stronger teams may lose the opportunity to directly qualify because of a defeat, However, some weaker teams may get the chance to advance directly because of a victory, which may lead to unpredictable results of the European Cup qualifiers, and may also lead to doubts about the fairness of the European Cup qualifiers.
Another controversial point of the UEFA playoff promotion rules is that it makes it possible for some teams in level D to break the history and participate in the European Cup for the first time. These teams are small countries in European football, and they have little hope of qualifying in the European Cup qualifiers. However, in the UEFA, they have a chance of survival If they win the second round of the European Cup, they will be able to qualify for the European Cup. This is a huge incentive and inspiration for them, and it is also a historic opportunity. They will try their best to fight for this opportunity. Maybe they will create a miracle.
The following are the teams and divisions of the UEFA playoff:
