We now almost know the participants in the CL and EL for the upcoming season. But what about licenses? So far we know that the following teams will not take part because of licensing issues:
1. Glasgow Rangers (SCO)
2. Derry City (IRL)
3. ETO Gyuo (HUN)

Are there any problematic cases?
What happened in Switzerland with the license of Young Boys and Servette? As far as I remember they were denied a license earlier this year.

In Bulgaria we had today an interview with the BFU licensing manager in one of the sports newspapers and he confirmed that all potential CL and EL participants will get a license.

All clubs got the license in the second attempt.

This year the SFL was very restrictive for the licenses, since Xamax had a dubious investor/president and the club has gone bankrupt.

In Switzerland for all losses has to be proved that there are money around. YB and Fc Zuerich needed to hand in some supporting documents. Servette has to show that they can handle they budget, because they were nearly bankrupt 3 month ago.

all 6 clubs in italy (juve,milan,udinese,napoli,lazio,inter) got the license.
couple of things :
1) lazio indicated palermo's stadium for their home matches. they have been having problems with CONI(italian olympic committee,rome's Olympic Stadium owner) regarding rent/maintenance,etc., for many years now. last year they did the same, indicating florence's stadium, but reaching an agreement right before the first european home game. this year it seems there wont be an agreement, we'll see.
2) there still is the betting scandal court proceedings to happen(which you can follow here in forum 2). since,it seems, that udinese,napoli and lazio may be involved, it is useful to know the other 6 teams that obtained a license.
in order of league position :
roma,catania(udine's stadium),atalanta(modena's stadium),fiorentina,palermo and sampdoria(played in serie b).

ps. catania has a tiny and remote possibility to play in europe on the first year they receive approval for a license(although not in their stadium).

well Lorric it can happen in elq4,groups,etc. i'm not giving up on that dream matchup.

anyway a small update from my previous post. since monday lazio is very involved in the betting scandal. and today's news is that napoli is involved too. while it seems that udinese is not involved after all. we'll see what happens.

ps. i remind everybody once more that some team's players are involved, not the teams themself. but nonetheless the clubs will be punished under the "objective responsability" rule.

All swiss clubs that were denied a license on first instance got a license in the appeal, so Young Boys and Servette will take part in the 2012/2013 EL.
From what I have read across some articles Young Boys were never in a real danger of missing Europe. Servette was the more troublesome case. They had 1 month in order to secure a financial rescue package. It seems they did the job

But what happened in Serbia? AFAIK Red Star was in serious financial trouble?

Edit:
According to this article PAOK is also not yet sure. Their fate will be known by the end of june if they manage to fulfill all UEFA prescriptions by then:

If anyone's interested, Romanian teams had no problems getting the licences this year.

I see that, with the removing of Beșiktaș and Bursaspor, Vaslui and Dinamo are now 2nd and 3rd unseeded in ELQR4!! And if AEK Athens is excluded too, then these 2 will be the first under the seeding line. It would be too harsh not to see them in the seeded pot in the end, although I don't think Dinamo would profit form that.

Since olny 31 clubs are seeded, I think it is a little bit too early to bet on a seeded Dnipro in q-4. Even Trabzonspor could be unseeded in q4.

Cloackmaster: In theory Dnipro can be unseeded of course. That would mean that more seeded teams will fail in CLQR3 than in EL QR1, 2 and 3. In theory this is possible. In practice this has never happened. At least as long as I follow the seeding stuff (10 years). In practice at least 1-2 clubs below Dnipro will be seeded in QR4.
I estimate that even my club (CSKA Sofia) has a 5% chance to be seeded

executor: I pray for Vaslui and Dimano

And of we remain unseeded I also pray that we draw one of them...preferably Dinamo

))

Omonia: The chance for Omonia is that a seeded in QR3 team fails in QR1. There are only 4 teams in question: Twente, Rosenborg, Lech and Elfsborg. Not very likely if you look at the unseeded teams there. I don't think we will see more license bombs but who knows. UEFA is always good for a surprise

There are 2 cases that are still open IMO:
1. Red Star Belgrade were in deep financial troubles. We still have no feedback from Serbia if they got a license.
2. PAOK must prove by 30.06. that they have paid all outstanding debts. They got a license from the greek FA, but UEFA can still ban them (they are on probation!) if they fail to make all the prescribed payments.

Author: Nick Date: 01-06-2012, 08:49	As far as I understand it (serbian is pretty close to bulgarian) they have made a last min. payment of almost 2 mil.euro and have got the license.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: Cloakmaster Date: 01-06-2012, 09:38	There are 18 Teams wiht a better coefficient than Omonia Nicosia, which have to qualify for q3 first. Four of them (Twente, Lech Posan, Rosenborg, and Elfsborg) have to survive two qualification rounds before they possibly meet Omonia in q3. So there are 22 chances for Omonia to become seeded in q-3.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: executor Date: 01-06-2012, 09:40	@Cloakmaster Since the draw for ELQR3 will be done between the 2 legs of ELQR2, any upset in QR2 won't affect the seedings in QR3. So, only those 4 that start in QR1 will have an impact.

The bans that can help Omonia are related with these countries: CZE, ROU, POL, GRE, BUL, SRB, SWE,SUI (and maybe BEL). My explanation for this is provided below.

Suppose that a club of Eng, Rus, Fra, Por, Ita, Ger, Esp, Ned is banned. Then another club stronger than Omonia will gain the desired European ticket. So these cases do not affect Omonia. Furthermore, bans from Norway, Austria and Ukraine could not help because Brann, Austria wien and Tavriya have higher Coeff than Omonia. Actually, these cases can even lower the position of Omonia e.g. if a Norwegian club other than Rosenborg is banned... Regarding Belgium, i do not know which club takes the advantage. Is it Cercle Brugge or Standard de Ličge? Regarding Cyprus, if a Cypriot glub is banned, Aek-Cy will take its place. Recall that Aek has the same coefficient with Omonia. So i dont think that this can help.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: Nick Date: 01-06-2012, 19:23	I guess the lincese bans are already known. Maybe PAOK is the last unknown as they have to report to UEFA by 30.06.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: Forza-AZ Date: 01-06-2012, 20:08	30 June would be to late to replace PAOK since the first draw involving a Greek team is on 25 June. So UEFA will probably decided before that draw.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: Nick Date: 02-06-2012, 08:43 Edited by: Nick at: 02-06-2012, 08:46	Next in line would be Levadiakos FC. But Forza-AZ is right. If PAOK is banned then Asteras Tipolis would move to QR3 and Levadiakos would take the place of Asteras in QR2. So UEFA can't wait intil 30.06.

Re: Licensing 2012/2013
Author: Forza-AZ Date: 02-06-2012, 10:52	Allthough UEFA could make the draw with the provision that the Greek team in EL-Q2 can still change. The draw is 25 June, but the first match is only at 19 July. So UEFA can just let the possible opponents of the Greek team know that Asteras Tripolis can still be changed into Leviadiakos. Both have the same coefficient also, so for the draw that makes no change.

Author: Cloakmaster
Date: 02-06-2012, 23:13

Last year UEFA changed the acess list after one leg being played, abandoning the rematch. So I think it is well possible for uefa to wait until 30.6 and IF PAOK will be eliminated then, there will be just an open spot without any greek team filling the gap. in case tripoli loose thier qualifier they may get PAOK's spot, but nothing more.
UEFA has no obligation to let tripli move up and let another grrek team strt in q-2. If uefa say, the dateline is 30.6. i presume they know about their very own match calander and are not interested in messing around q-2 depending on the PAOK question.

greetings from serbia dear friends,

yes, Crvena Zvezda (or Red Star on English) pay 1,7 mil euros in may, amazing, that money could be used for new players,
but new menagment which was established in 2009, still paying debts from period between 2005 and 2009, and with this 1,7 mil euros they comlete whole debt from past, ( for former players and coaches), so, it should be better situation for them in future,
also, their budget is 10-12 mil euros, but in 2005,6,7 there was a lot of spending, on players like ailton, barkos (now in palmeiras), salas, molina, castiljo, lucas, sisic ( red star have to paid sisic around 300,400k euros),
and they got the license, because red star is institution in serbia, biggest club with couple million fans only in serbia, and there was no way that they dont get the license,
but it was big isue for menagment, because in one moment realy looks like a big mountain to climb, 1,7 mil is a lot of money, and because of this, they are playing with a lot of young but talented players , mostly u21 of serbia, with couple of foreigners
so, group stage of el, would be a great push in the back for us, our stadium deserve 60k fans in europe,
because since 2007 when they played in groups, and it is amazing, we have 41k attendence this season against average serbian team (2 times, spartak and smederevo), our spirit lives forever,

well as for today, if all but one team licenses were already granted (and the schedule for Greek team is June 30th - after the draw anyway) why the draw is put on hold for 3 weeks time and then teams have just roughly one week to sort out the travels and accommodation. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the draw now (without unclear regional groupings)? Or just to make it more clear: what prevents from having QR1 draw separately?
Back then when Intertoto Cup was still on, the draw of teams in UEFA Cup was at least two weeks before the first game.

The Licensing Committee of the EPO gave a second degree authorization to Panathinaikos, but that does not mean that UEFA and will light the green light. The mission of UEFA are in Athens on Monday (4/6) and in submissions from Panathinaikos there is a problem with licensing.
This, argue that the Greens are the only concern there is that the payments to players are out of time, which of course is known.
It is worth noting however, that if proven to be a problem with the file and hence the licensing of Panathinaikos, then both the Clover risk to stay out of Europe and the EPO, which will need to explain."
