I hope they invite surviving members of the Malmo team to the game, along with ours to sit together.
Have them all out on the pitch pre-match for a standing ovation.

Very decent draw that.
RE: Europa League 25/26 - Trailer Park Tom - 29-08-2025
Happy with that draw although it definitely won't be easy. Very excited for the city.
Like sniffer said I'm waiting for someone to explain to group progression logistics haha.

The times and dates for the ties are sorted over the weekend.
In the league stage:
- The top 8 qualify automatically for the last 16
- Places 9 - 24 play off for the other 8 places. Two-leg play offs. Not sure how they work or if it's as simple as 9 plays 24, 10 plays 23 and so on
- Places 25-36 are out

Top 8 in the league after all the matches go through.
Next 16 places are drawn in ties for a 2-legged playoff to go through.
Below that and you’re out out.

2/3 wins gets you 24th last season think 11 points was what the 24th placed team got with good goal difference
RE: Europa League 25/26 - stirred - 29-08-2025
Obviously it depends, but 15 points and a decent goal difference was the threshold for top 8 last season as I recall.
