Olympiacos FC and Beşiktaş JK are among the teams that have discovered their opposition after the draws for the UEFA Europa League first and second qualifying rounds were made.
The competition will begin on 1 and 8 July with the first qualifying round. Among the 26 ties, 2008/09 UEFA Champions League group stage participants Anorthosis Famagusta FC will play FC Banants of Armenia. Fair Play winners Randers FC, Gefle IF and Myllykosken Pallo-47 respectively take on F91 Dudelange, NSÍ Runavík and JK Trans Narva.
Joining the winners from that round are 54 clubs entering in the second qualifying round. That includes three of last season's UEFA Champions League group stage contenders; with Olympiacos playing Albania's KS Besa, Beşiktaş up against Faroese side Vikingur and APOEL FC meeting the winner of the first qualifying round tie between Llanelli AFC and FK Tauras.
Those 40 ties will be played on 15 and 22 July and the day after the first leg the third qualifying round draw will be made with 30 clubs making their bow including Liverpool FC and Juventus. That will be followed by the play-off round with more clubs being introduced including 15 sides from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round before the group stage lineup is confirmed with only one team already ensured entry: holders Club Atlético de Madrid. The final is at the Dublin Arena on 18 May 2011
