From 2016 on Fair Play teams no longer qualify for the Europa League.
Although the regulations no longer require the use of regional groups (as used before 2009), UEFA still uses some kind of regionalization in the first qualifying rounds. At first the clubs are divided into seeded and unseeded teams, and then the seeded and unseeded teams are split into regional groups. The general approach seems to use the North/Central/South scheme, but no specific rules are known.
Since the Champions League title holder (Real Madrid) already qualified for the group stage of the Champions League, the Europa League title holder (Manchester United) gains access to the group stage of the Champions League, and leave an open spot in the Europa League group stage. This open spot will be taken by the cup winner of the 13th country on the ranking list (Czech Republic). The cup winner of the 18th country on the ranking list (Poland) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 25th and 26th countries on the ranking list (Scotland and Azerbaijan) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.

In the qualifying rounds the teams are divided into groups with the same number of seeded and unseeded teams. A few hours before the draw a computer system is used to prepare the groups such that teams of the same association are not in the same group and and that all groups are about equal strength (in terms of ranking). Then all clubs in each group are ordered randomly and identified by a number. For these draws there are only two bowls with numbered balls, one with the seeded numbers and one with the unseeded numbers. The draw determines the pairs in the groups: e.g. (7 vs 4) which means that the 7th team of each group plays against the 4th club of each group.
For the draw of the 1st round the 100 teams are divided into 10 groups of 10 teams.
The pairs (2 vs 9), (8 vs 3), (5 vs 7), (4 vs 6), and (1 vs 10) were drawn.
The draw groups were as follows:
Group 1
seeded: AS Trencín, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Inter Baku, Dacia Chisinau, Shirak Gyumri
unseeded: Shkendija Tetovo, Nova Gorica, Mladost Lucani, SK Tirana, Torpedo Kutaisi

Unseeded teams in the 1st qualifying round that qualify for the next round take effectively the coefficient of their opponent in the next round: MFK Ruzomberok replaced the seeded team Vojvodina Novi Sad (9.075), Suduva Marijampole replaced the seeded team Shakhtior Saligorsk (7.475), FK Trakai replaced the seeded team St. Johnstone (6.535), Valur Reykjavik replaced the seeded team FK Ventspils (5.725), Zaria Balti replaced the seeded team FK Sarajevo (5.300), CS Fola Esch replaced the seeded team Milsami Orhei (4.900), VPS Vaasa replaced the seeded team Olimpija Ljubljana (4.625), Shamrock Rovers replaced the seeded team Stjarnan FC (4.175), Siroki Brijeg replaced the seeded team Ordabasy Shymkent (4.050), Cork City replaced the seeded team Levadia Tallinn (4.050), FK Liepaja replaced the seeded team Crusaders Belfast (3.900), Progrčs Niederkorn replaced the seeded team Glasgow Rangers (3.785), Nova Gorica replaced the seeded team Shirak Gyumri (3.775), and Shkendija Tetovo replaced the seeded team Dacia Chisinau (3.650). The reason for this is that the draw for the 2nd qualifying round is made before the results of the 1st qualifying round are known.

The twelve group-winners and twelve runners-up of the group stage qualify for the second round. The clubs that finish this stage in third or fourth position in their group are eliminated. The 24 teams that qualify are join with 8 teams from the Champions League who finished at the 3rd position in the CL group.
The draw for the 2nd round takes the following rules into account:
a) Clubs from the same association must not be drawn against each other,
b) The 12 group-winners and the 4 best third-ranked teams in the Champions
League group stage are drawn against the 12 group runners-up and the
remaining third-ranked teams in the Champions League group stage,
c) The winners and runners-up of the same group cannot be drawn against each other,
d) Group-winners and the 4 best third-ranked in the Champions League
group stage play the return leg at home.
