FC Copenhagen and FC Nordsjælland were pitted against Ukrainian and Swedish opposition when the draw was made for the second qualifying round of the Conference League

Bo Svensson's troops will face Ukrainian outfit FC Polissya, who ended up in third place in the Ukrainian league.  FC Polyssya will start at home before the return match awaits in the Parken Stadium. The matches will be played on 23 July and 30 July.

Copenhagen rivals FC Nordsjaelland will face Swedish GAIS in the same qualifying round.  FC Nordsjaelland could have been facing a trip to Kosovo, Ireland, Serbia, Hungary, the Faroe Islands, or Iceland, but it all ended with a Swedish challenge.

GAIS starts at home, before FC Nordsjaelland will enjoy the home field advantage in the return leg.
