Teams
edit
A total of 35 teams entered the tournament.[3] Clubs/teams from Russia were barred from participation.[4]
Associations were ranked according to their UEFA coefficients , computed based on results of the last three seasons (2015 , 2017 , 2019 ), to decide on the round their teams entered and their seeding pots in the preliminary and intermediate round draws. The top 35 associations entered the intermediate round, while the bottom 5 associations (ranked 32–36) entered the preliminary round.[5]
The draw for the preliminary and intermediate rounds was held on 8 December 2021, 16:00 CET (UTC+1 ), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon , Switzerland.[6] The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
In the preliminary round, the five teams were drawn into two groups of two and three without any seeding.
In the intermediate round, the 31 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and either one team from Pot D or one team which advanced from the preliminary round (whose identity was not known at the time of the draw).
For political reasons, teams from Russia and Ukraine would not be drawn in the same group. The hosts for each group in the preliminary and intermediate rounds would be selected after the draw. On 28 February 2022, UEFA suspended all Russian clubs from participating in UEFA competitions.[7] Russia's spot will be replaced by the preliminary round runners-up.
