Fenerbahçe, transitioning to the UEFA Europa League after being eliminated from the Champions League, will participate in the draw from the second pot. The yellow and navy team could also be paired with Porto, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Roma, where Jose Mourinho once served.
Fenerbahçe, eliminated from the Champions League by France's Lille team, will continue in the UEFA Europa League.
EACH TEAM WILL PLAY 8 MATCHES
UEFA is implementing a new format in the tournaments this season. There will be a 36-team league in the Cup 2. However, each team will only play 8 matches.
Although Fenerbahçe entered the draw from the 2nd pot, it no longer matters. Because each team will be paired with 2 opponents from each pot, including their own, and will play 8 matches in total, 4 at home and 4 away. The teams finishing in the top 8 will advance to the Round of 16, while the teams between 9th and 24th place will compete in the Play-Off round against each other.
THE CANARY CAN ALSO BE PAIRED WITH MOURINHO'S FORMER TEAMS
According to Fanatik Newspaper, the elimination stage is still ongoing in the Europa League, but some of Fenerbahçe's potential opponents have been determined. Jose Mourinho's former clubs, Porto, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Roma, could be paired with Fenerbahçe. Additionally, teams like Frankfurt, Sociedad, Lyon, Olympiakos, Athletic Bilbao, and Nice are also among the possible opponents for the yellow-navy blues.
