Sir Tarmo Kink Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The semi-finals look a bit lopsided. Gibraltar are being ‘promoted’ out of the preliminary round for next year so it seems weird that Red Imps have to play the Kosovar side whilst the Andorrans and Sanmarinese side play each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosavar are the lowest ranked country (55) with the Gilbralter (52) Andorra (53) San Marino (54) for this year (2018). I think.

Essentially, Kosovar teams are stronger than their ranks suggests, they just haven't had enough seasons to generate points. They will get promoted out of the preliminary group in a few years IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. It's the club coefficient over the last 5 years (2014-2019) that decides the seedings. FC Santa Coloma got a few results in the last 5 years, especially reaching QR2 by beating Banants of Armenia in 2014. They also picked up 3 draws and a win in the other years, although none resulted in them going through, they did collect some points through it. That's what got them seeded. Feronikeli are making their European debut, so they only go on the country part of the coefficient, which isn't much in Kosovo's case due to them being new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's also worth mentioning btw that Kosovo picked up 2.5 points last season, putting them in 32nd place out of 55 in the overall rankings. If they do that again this season, they will comfortably move out of the bottom 4 and not play in the preliminaries from the 2021/22 season onwards (assuming the current preliminary set-up will remain). Next season Gibraltar's champion will go straight into CL Q1 with the Northern Irish champions moving into the preliminaries with the champions of Kosovo, Andorra and San Marino. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Penne were giving them a good game. Some save by the FC Santa keeper when it was 0-0. Though it was a shame on the players having to play in an empty stadium, surely they could have given free tickets away or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
