The players of Budućnosti will play against Cluj, Ludogorets or Omonia in the first round of Champions League qualification.
Tonight, UEFA divided the participants of the first qualifying round into several groups with privileged and non-privileged teams, and the champion of Montenegro was not lucky in that division.
Potential rivals are the champions of Romania (Cluj) and Bulgaria (Ludogorets), as well as Omonia, which was the leading team in the table at the time the Cyprus championship was suspended.
In addition to the Podgorica "Blues", among the disadvantaged teams in group 3 are Ararat (Armenia) and Floriana (Malta).
This season, one match is played in the qualifiers, and the draw will determine who will be the host.
The chances of Budućnost, and of winning the home team, to meet their rivals in Podgorica are almost impossible.
All three potential opponents are from EU member states, and Montenegro is not on the "green list" of European Union countries.
This means that EU citizens would not be able to return to their countries without restrictions after returning from Montenegro, except with special permits.
In this situation, it is unlikely that Budućnost would be able to play in Bulgaria and Romania, because Montenegrin citizens cannot enter EU countries without restrictions.
As for Cyprus, it is known that it is one of the countries that has provided the capacity to organize European Cup matches as a neutral location.
The draw for the first round of qualifications will take place on Sunday at noon.
