It is also important to specify that the C4 is also there to raise the level of the C3 since there will be fewer participants (42 to 38) and only the countries between 1st and 16th place in the UEFA ranking will be able to participate.
The C4 is made up of 8 groups of 4 teams, the 1st will reach the final stages and the second will face the 3rd of the Europa League to know who will go in 1/8 to face the first.
For the quarters, semi and final it is the same operation as in C1 and C3
No team is qualified for the group stages of C4, they must play at least one qualifying round (out of the 3) followed by a play-off round or be drafted from the lost qualifications of C1 / C3
Distribution of places given according to the UEFA ranking:
1-5 -> 1 place in Q4
6-12 -> 1 place in Q3, 1 place in Q2
13-15 -> 2 places in Q2
16-28 -> 3 places in Q2
29 -> 2 places in Q2, 1 in Q1
30-50 -> 3 places in Q1
51-55 -> 2 places in Q1
๐ฑ๐ฎ = 1 place in Q1
