Basel gives YB millions!

Calculating the UEFA coefficient is one of the more complicated things on the planet. Those who do not have a master’s degree in mathematics quickly become overwhelmed.

To keep it simple (and to put it in a nutshell when it comes to Swiss football): FCB, which is financially bleak, takes almost half of all points in the five-year ranking. And the Liga Croesus YB, which failed internationally this season, benefits. It is already clear that the Berner will play in the Conference League next season. Partly thanks to Basler’s points, FCB donates millions to the Young Boys.

No direct CL site

Despite the high flight in Basel, the Swiss Football League is still a long way from a direct place in the Champions League. Even if FCB won the Conference League, the Swiss champions would have to qualify in 2025. Because from 2024, only the ten best European countries will receive a permanent place. And Switzerland, even if the Basel team won the Conference League, would only advance to 11th place. After all, this guarantees the upcoming Swiss champion a permanent place in the play-offs of the Champions League, which means a place in the group stage of the Europa League.

FCB would be there next season if they won the Conference League. Or in the Champions League qualifiers, the people of Basel were allowed to choose. However, it is difficult to assume that you would pass the extremely difficult qualification in the premier class. Because teams such as Dynamo Kiev, Monaco, Glasgow Rangers, PSV Eindhoven and even Benfica Lisbon are waiting for the non-championship path.

The direct qualification for the Europa League, on the other hand, would wash away the Bebbi several million in one fell swoop. The entrance fee is about three. It is the same amount that FCB would collect for a place in the conference league final. The winner gets another two million.
