Moves in seeding of clubs

Changes in seeding of listed clubs may happen from following reasons (this page is updated regularly, after any change):

1. Listed seeded club is eliminated = all clubs with lower coefficient are moved up in seeding for the draw of following rounds (there are exceptions in 2nd Q and 3rd Q rounds, more info below).

2. Listed club is banned, or didn't obtain license for playing european cups (but given club will be listed at this page until fail of its final appeal in its country).

3. UEFA uses different coefficient of listed club due their mistake in counting (that few times happened).
