The menu fell for Strasbourg. Racing inherited one of the big pieces of the conference league, Crystal Palace, which will be one of the Alsatian opponents during the group stage.

It is a rather particular duel, because Strasbourg, which is closely linked to Chelsea by its owners, will therefore cross the road of another London club. And Crystal Palace should not be there, because the Eagles, winners of the FA Cup, had to play the Europa League. But the constraints of the multi -ownership, and the presence in C3 of OL, another club affiliated with Eagle and John Textor, led UEFA to send Palace to conference.

For the rest, Strasbourg will also welcome Jagiellonia Bialystok (Poland) and the Icelanders from Breidablik. The men of Liam Rosenior will be entitled to travel in Slovakia (Slovan Bratislava) in Scotland (Aberdeen) and Sweden (Häcken).
