Azerbaijani Official Assigned To UEFA Conference League Qualifying Match
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
UEFA has appointed Asim Khudiyev as the referee-inspector of the
match between "CFR Cluj" (Romania) and "Maccabi" (Petah Tikva,
Israel), Azernews reports.
The match is set to take place at CFR Cluj Stadium in the city
of Cluj-Napoca on August 15 as part of the UEFA conference League's
III qualifying round. Hungarian referee Tamas Bognar will officiate
the second match.
The 2024–25 UEFA Conference League is the fourth season of the
UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament
organized by UEFA.
This will be the first UEFA Conference League played under a new
format involving a 36-team league stage.
The new format also does not allow teams to transfer from the
Europa League to the Conference League knockout stage, and thus
Conference League winners (Olympiacos in the 2023–24 edition)
cannot defend their title. From this season, the competition is
renamed to UEFA Conference League from the UEFA Europa Conference
League.
The final will be played in Stadion Wrocław in Wroclaw, Poland.
The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the
2025–26 UEFA Europa League league stage, unless they qualify for
the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League through their league
performance.
