Addendum 

This year's UEFA Europa League draw has seen a dramatic change in the format of the tournament. Previously, 32 teams took part in the tournament, which were divided into 8 groups. In this draw, all matches of the general stage are played in a single league system, according to which each club plays one game with eight different opponents - four at home and four away.

The teams that will take places from 1 to 8 will automatically qualify for the 1/8 finals, and the teams that will take places from 9 to 24 will play paired head-to-head matches to reach the 1/8 finals. The rest will finish their performances in the European Cups. Starting from the 1/8 finals, the Europa League playoffs will follow the same pattern as before - two-match matches, the final will consist of one match.

The matches will be held from September 25/26, and the last rounds will be played at the end of January 2025.
