Last situation in the UEFA country scoring ranking
After the first matches of the last 16 rounds played by Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, Başakşehir and Sivasspor in the Conference League, the final situation in the UEFA country ranking was also determined.
Fenerbahce walked away with a 2-0 loss despite their good football away to Sevilla, while Başakşehir drew 1-1 with Gent. Sivasspor lost 1-0 to Fiorentina. Our three representatives in Europe could not win in the first round games they played away. Accumulating 200 points from games played on Thursday night, Turkey increased its overall score to 31,700.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TOP 10 AND THE TOP 15
Turkey, which is ranked 12th in the general ranking, will be able to send a team directly to the Champions League in the 2024-25 season if it surpasses Serbia and Austria and enters the top 10. The fact that Serbia and Austria do not have competing teams in Europe this season is an advantage for Turkey. However, to close the points gap, Turkish teams must perform 6-win, 5-win+2-draw or 4-win+4-draw scenarios this season.
Since Turkey finished last season in 20th place, this season’s Super League champion will play 4 qualifying rounds to qualify for the Champions League in the 2023-24 season. We will not be able to send a team to the Europa League and the champion of the Turkish Cup, league 2 and 3 will play 3 qualifiers to be able to participate in the Conference League. If we complete this season in the top 15, we will participate in the Champions League and Europa League with 2 teams each, and in the Conference League with 1 team in the 2024-25 season.
