In the 1st round of qualification for the Conference League, Buducnost will play against the fourth-placed team from the Kosovo championship last season, Mališeva from Kosovo.

The first match is on July 11, probably in Pristina, the second leg seven days later in Gorica.

"We got an adequate opponent, we already have certain information about them, we know that the rival is not naive, that they collected 57 points by winning fourth place in the domestic competition, that they have a winger who scored 20 goals, that the team generally has speed..." , said Buducnosti coach Ivan Brnović after the draw.

The people of Podgorica have already played with their rival from Kosovo, two years ago they dealt with the team of Ljapi without major problems (total 4:2).

Brnović believes that Buducnost has drawn a tailor-made rival.

"It was important for us to avoid Torpedo from Georgia, which was by far the strongest in our disadvantaged subgroup, and of the five teams that could come to us, realistically, Malisheva and the Belarusians were the most desirable. We received a representative of Kosovo, we will scan them in detail and we will understand them as the most serious possible opponent", said the coach of Budućnosti.

Mornar, unlike Budućnosti, was not the holder and went up - the rival is the biggest Georgian club, Dinamo Tbilisi.

"When the subgroups were made for the draw, I said that Dinamo was the team to avoid. It happened that they were our opponent, we were just unlucky. Dinamo is the biggest club in Georgia, multiple champions of their country, winner of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1988. So, they are a team that we respect to the maximum and against which we will try to do our best in order to present the club, the city and the country in the right way," said the coach of the Sailors, Zoran Đurašković.
