SC Orjanelo - FC Mounrje Francesca Disunited - Kaigan Athletic FC Destra - Lunar Eclipse FC Atarashi City - Queño United
Alekiri clubs, Kaigan Athletic and Atarashi City, have been drawn against Francesca Disunited from Violenge and Queño United from Quesefle respectively. The first legs will be played on the 3rd of July, and the second legs a week later, on the 10th of July.
When asked, the Kaigan Athletic manager said: "Qualifying to the group stage is our main goal right now. The draw has been sort of kind to us, but those matches could go both ways. We've done alright last season, but it could've been a lot better and we aim to improve."
The Atarashi City manager was not as positive: "Last season was a disaster. Sure, we reached the cup final, but the cash prize was not worth finishing 7th in the league. We barely got the qualification spot, and the draw definitely wasn't kind to us. I apologise to all the fans, they don't deserve such performances. I hope we can at least win the super cup for them, not many expected us to sweep Takai like that."
Will the Alekiri clubs qualify? Even the bookmakers aren't sure - the odds are currently about the same for them and their opponents.
