💨 Abstract

Israeli soccer club Maccabi Tel Aviv faces a challenging Europa League schedule amid regional conflict. Due to security concerns, they must play their qualifying matches abroad; their first away game is in Cyprus. UEFA mandates this policy since 2023 due to security issues. Other notable pairings include Dynamo Kyiv and Red Star Belgrade, both aiming to progress in the competition. Losing teams from this round will move to the Europa League.
