After the victory over Zorya Vorskla not only won bronze medals, but also received a direct ticket to the group stage of the Europa League. Now the order of the start of the representatives of Ukraine in the European club tournaments of the 2018/2019 season has been finally determined.

Shakhtar has a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League, Dynamo, which won silver medals, to the third qualifying round. Kievans will have to overcome the resistance of two rivals to get to the main grid. In case of failure at any stage under the new regulations, our representative will automatically move to the group round of the Europa League.

Ukraine will be represented by three clubs in the Europa League. The winner of the National Cup should have entered the group stage together with 16 other participants, but the composition of the finalists - future participants of the Champions League - gave such a right to the bronze medalist of the Premier League. Vorskla became him.

In turn, the fifth UPL team, Mariupol, will start in the second qualifying round, and the fourth (Zorya) - in the third. Thus, our delegates will need to pass three and two opponents, respectively, to get to the main grid.
