When Omonia Nicosia was kicked out of the Conference League on Thursday evening, it was good news for Danish football.
Omonia's defeat means that Denmark is now no longer at risk of being overtaken by Cyprus on UEFA's coefficiency list, which means that Denmark will at least finish the season in 14th place. .
Denmark are still secured five European places in the 2027/28 season - including two in the Champions League qualification, but the top 14 significantly improves the chances for next season's Superliga winner.
Instead of the second qualifying round, the Danish champions from the 2026/27 season enter directly into the Champions League playoff in the following season.
Thus, just one overall victory is needed to get into the Champions League league phase, where FC Copenhagen in this season had to go through three qualifying rounds to qualify the competition.
In addition, the Superliga winner in the 2026/27 season is guaranteed Europa League participation if they lose the Champions League playoff tie.
Next season's silver medalist enters the second round of Champions League qualification, while the Danish cup winner starts Europa League qualification from the third round.
Both the third place and the winner of the Superliga's European playoff enter the Conference League Q2.
