How the draw will work

UEFA has confirmed the procedure for today's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round draw.

UEFA has confirmed the draw procedure for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

Still to be resolved
There will be 16 matches involving 16 seeded teams and 16 non-seeded sides. As the second qualifying round has yet to be completed, there are 14 places in the draw for the winners of these ties. For example, second-round opponents FK Vardar and Legia Warszawa constitute one unseeded team for the purpose of the draw.

First team at home
The draw at 12.00CET today will see a seeded and non-seeded ball taken from the respective pots and then shuffled in an empty bowl. The first team drawn from these two will be the home side for the first leg.

Compatriots kept apart
Teams from the same country cannot play each other, and if drawn together the club drawn second will be moved to the next match. If a clash occurs between the last two drawn, then the one taken second will be switched with the corresponding seeded or non-seeded team in Match 1.

High coefficients
There are four second qualifying round matches involving teams who will be seeded among the top 16. These are FC Dynamo Kyiv, who take on FC Pyunik, AC Sparta Praha, who meet FC Torpedo Kutaisi, Club Brugge KV, who play FC Dinamo Bucuresti, and Boavista FC, who will do battle with Hibernians FC. Regardless of who wins these ties, the victors will take their place among the seeds in the next round.

Group stage incentive
The Champions League third qualifying round will take place on 13/14 August and 27/28 August. The winners of these ties will go forward to the first group stage where they will join the 16 clubs which gained automatic entry.
