Maresca secures qualification to UEFA competition

Since the competition was founded in 2021/22, the Conference League winners have been awarded a spot in the following season of the Europa League 'league phase' (formerly group stage). If the Blues win the tournament and qualify for the Europa League via the Premier League, the vacancy created will be filled by either the domestic cup winner or the highest domestically ranked club from its division that hasn't already qualified for competition directly.

If Chelsea win the Conference League and qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League, the club has the right to choose between either the European top-flight or the Europa League.
