Wednesday’s disappointing result in Croatia means that it is Dinamo Zagreb who can cheer for playing in the Champions League group stage this season, while Bodø/Glimt will have to settle for group play in the Europa League. Nevertheless, the yellow jerseys are guaranteed a rich European autumn. A number of big guns will play in the same tournament as Kjetil Knutsen’s men, and here is everything you need to know about what will happen in the run-up to Christmas: When is the draw for the groups? The group stage will be drawn next Friday 26 August at 1pm in Istanbul. Eight groups will be drawn with four teams in each group, a total of 32 participating teams. Which teams can Glimt face? Even if there were no games in the Champions League, the autumn could be very star-studded at Aspmyra. Both Manchester United and Arsenal are in the pot, as are José Mourinho’s Roma. Cristiano Ronaldo or Martin Ødegaard at Aspmyra would hardly have become boring. These teams are already ready for the Europa League group stage: RomaManchester UnitedArsenalLazioBragaFeyenoordRennesReal SociedadReal BetisUnion BerlinFreiburgNantesMonacoSturm GrazUnion Saint-GilloiseFC MidtjyllandRøde StjerneDynamo KyivQarabağBodø/GlimtPSV/Glasgow RangersTrabzonspor/FC Copenhagen In addition, the list will be expanded with the 10 playoff winners that will be decided on Thursday evening. Teams from the same nation cannot be drawn against each other. This means, for example, that Glimt can only get one of the teams from the Premier League at level 1. The seeding levels are decided on Thursday after the playoff games have been played. Which of these teams do you hope Glimt draws? Manchester United Arsenal Roma Lazio Real Sociedad None of these Show result Who advances from the group stage? All the group winners go directly to the round of 16 in the Europa League. The eight group runners-up end up in a playoff, where they will meet the eight group runners-up from the championship groups to fight for the last tickets to the round of 16. The eight group runners-up from the Europa League end up in the Serie Liga, where they will meet the Serie Liga’s group runners-up for a playoff for tickets to the round of 16. In other words, there are good opportunities for the European autumn to be extended beyond the group stage if Glimt perform as they have done in Europe in the past. When are the Europa League matches played? Due to the World Cup in Qatar, there will be a compressed time period for the group stage this time. The entire group stage will this time be completed in the period 8 September to 3 November. The group stage: Matchday 1: 8 September Matchday 2: 15 September Matchday 3: 6 October Matchday 4: 13 October Matchday 5: 27 October Matchday 6: 3 November Playoff for round of 16: 16 and 23 February 2023 Round of 16 finals: 9 and 16 March 2023 Quarter-finals: 13 and 20 April 2023 Semi-finals: 11 and 18 May 2023 Final: 31 May 2023 The match schedule for the group stage will be made clear shortly after the draw for the groups has been made. Often the set-up arrives already the same evening or the next day. Who broadcasts the matches? In Norway, V Sport/Viaplay owns the rights to the Europa League in an agreement that runs until 2024. How much can Glimt earn from games in the Europa League? According to figures from Uefa, all teams that qualify for the Europa League are paid around NOK 36 million. In addition, there are a number of other payouts that teams in the group stage are guaranteed, based on everything from TV money to coefficient bonuses. For each win in the group stage, Glimt will be paid approximately NOK 6.3 million. For each tie, around NOK 2.1 million is paid out. The group winners in the Europa League are paid around NOK 11 million, the group runners-up in the Europa League receive NOK 5.5 million.
