The first and second qualifying round draws for the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League took place in Nyon on 24 June.
The reward for the winners of the first round ties – which concluded with tonight's second-leg action – was a place in the second qualifying round on 18 and 25 July. European Champion Clubs' Cup winners in 1991, FK Crvena zvezda were perhaps the most notable team drawn to start in the second qualifying round and they will encounter ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar, victorious against HB Tórshavn. Part-timers Prestatyn Town FC, shock penalty shoot-out winners against SK Liepājas Metalurgs, will now meet HNK Rijeka.
Meanwhile, Rosenborg BK, who overcame Crusaders FC, will meet Saint Johnstone FC of Scotland. FC Rubin Kazan will kick off their attempt to reach the Turin final against Serbia's FK Jagodina next week, while R. Standard de Liège stand between another of tonight's winners KR Reykjavík and the third qualifying round. IFK Göteborg, who belied their underdog status by lifting the UEFA Cup under Sven-Göran Eriksson in both 1982 and 1987, tackle FK AS Trenčín from Slovakia.
