I'm not sure on that. In 2012 the results of the matches of Trabzonspor in the qualifying round are not counted towards the country coefficient of Turkey, although those results were included in the coefficient calculation of their opponents associations (Portugal and Spain). Just before the group stage draw the Turkish champion Fenerbahçe was withdrawn by the Turkish association, and replaced by Trabzonspor who already played in the Champions League and Europa League qualification rounds. Though Fenerbahçe did not play they were included in the total number of teams for Turkey in the coefficient calculation.
The sitution for Albania is not the same, but quite similar. |
