Belgium without team in Euro Cup

[BoGdy]

Hello guys,

I am on season 2022 - 2023 in my carrer, managing Anderlecht Bruxelles from Belgium.I finished in the third place last season, but I only managed to get a qualification to Euro Cup 2.The winner of the league had a spot in Champions League playoffs and the second spot (Genk), also got a spot like me in Euro Cup 2.So, no team for Belgium in the main competition of Euro Cup, which seems unreal.Is this ok considering Belgium is in the 11 position of european nation rank and last year was in the 12 spot and had teams in first Euro Cup

The ranking at the end of the 21-22 season decides how many places each league in 22-23 will have to qualify for European competitions in 23-24. So I'm guessing in your save the Belgian teams had some rubbish performances in the first couple of seasons, and in Summer 2022 had fallen to 16th or lower, in which case this is correct. In the new format, there's a big, big difference between 15th and 16th - once you fall to 16th, you only get one UCL qualifying spot, and no Europa places - the only way to enter the Europa is if the league winner gets knocked into it from the Champions League.

Like @Spurs08 said above, I would guess the nation fell down the European rankings therefore lost the Europa League spot.

The Europa Conference League is a far more interesting competition than the Europa League in my experience.  You've also a good chance winning it as Anderlecht.
