Vilnius' "Žalgiris" did not receive the favor of Fortuna - an additional ticket to the UEFA Europa League group stage tournament went to APOEL from Cyprus.
This was revealed on Friday morning at the UEFA headquarters after the drawing ceremony. All clubs that were defeated in the fourth qualifying round had the opportunity to take the place of the disqualified Istanbul "Fenerbahce" team. There were a total of 29 of them, as Istanbul's "Besiktas" was also disqualified by the Court of Sports Arbitration and gave up their spot to the defeated team of "Tromso".
The drawing was conducted by a journalist from Ireland, whose country's representatives were not present.
Later in the afternoon, the 48 lucky teams will be divided into 12 groups of four.
