Following the first and second qualifying round draws, the clubs in each group have to agree who will host the mini-tournament. If they cannot agree, the UEFA administration decides according to the following principles:
-
If one club is interested in hosting the mini-tournament, the UEFA administration designates that club as host.
-
If more than one club is interested in hosting the mini-tournament, the following criteria apply:
-
Opinion of the majority of the clubs
-
Priority given to clubs from associations which do not already have clubs hosting a first qualifying round mini-tournament
-
Drawing of lots
-
-
If no club expresses an interest in hosting the mini-tournament, the UEFA administration conducts a draw to determine the host.
For operational reasons, only clubs who start directly in the round concerned may be considered for hosting responsibilities.
