How newly crowned Danish champions AGF can qualify for the UCL

AGF’s first Danish Championship in forty years has earned them a place in the second round of Champions League qualifying, but their lack of UEFA coefficient points means they will be unseeded throughout the main stages. Potential opponents in their opening tie include Red Star Belgrade, Dinamo Zagreb or Omonia Nicosia, while Slovan Bratislava and NK Celje are favoured to progress from the first round.

A defeat in the second round would drop AGF into the Europa League’s third qualifying round, and another loss there would send them to the Conference League playoff round. Should AGF advance, they could become seeded in the third round due to the draw being made before second‑round results are confirmed. Reaching the Champions League playoff round would again leave them unseeded, with possible opponents including Viking, AEK Athens, Hearts or LASK Linz. Failure at that stage would still guarantee a place in the Europa League league phase.
