Northern European clubs in UEFA Conference League

Overview

In late July, Estonian sides Paide Linnameeskond and FC Flora secured progression in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, with Paide winning 2–1 on aggregate over Azerbaijan's Zira FK and Flora advancing after a penalty shoot-out against Wales' The New Saints. Other Estonian clubs, FCI Levadia and Nõmme Kalju, were eliminated.

A few days later, the draw for the third qualifying round placed all four Finnish qualifiers into challenging match-ups: KuPS versus Romania's Universitatea Craiova, Inter Turku against Vaduz, HJK against Motherwell, and Ilves Tampere versus Rijeka.

By mid-August, the results of these matchups began to shape the play-off stage. HJK's European campaign ended following a 0–2 loss to Motherwell. However, FC Inter and KuPS both advanced to the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-offs. FC Inter secured their spot after a 2–2 draw against Vaduz, winning 4–3 on aggregate. KuPS progressed to the play-offs following their exit from the Europa League qualifiers against Universitatea Craiova, losing 2–3 on aggregate.

In the play-off round, FC Inter is scheduled to face FC Copenhagen, while KuPS will compete against the Irish champions, Shamrock Rovers. Both Finnish clubs are competing for a place in the league stage, which offers a participation fee of approximately 3.17 million euros.
