Petrocub, Sfîntul Gheorghe and Dinamo-Auto found out their rivals in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League as a result of the draw that was held today in Nyon, IPN reports.

Petrocub will meet at home the debutant of the European cups Backa Topola (Serbia), while Sfîntul Gheorghe and Dinamo-Auto will make their debut in the Europa League away.  Sfîntul Gheorghe will play the current leader of Belarus Shakhtar Soligorsk, while Dinamo-Auto will face Ventspils, whose president is the former patron of Dacia Adlan Shishkhanov, while the coach of the Latvian team is Moldova’s Viorel Frunză. The winner will be decided by one match.

In the UEFA Champions League, Sheriff will meet Fola (Luxemburg) in Tiraspol on August 18 or August 19. In 2017, Fola eliminated Milsami from the Europa League after a general score of 3-2. If it beats the champion of Luxemburg, Sheriff will play against the winner of the encounter between Qarabag (Azerbaijan) and Sileks (Macedonia) in the second qualifying round.
