Already in advance, Kristianstad faced a tough draw as the Swedish team belongs to the lower seeding group in the European rankings.
In other words, Kristianstad, in the first place, could not be pitted against a poorly ranked team.
On Friday, the Scanians were drawn against Danish Bröndby, which is the best ranked team in the higher seeding group.
Should they win the semi-final, either French league three Bordeaux or Czech Slovacko await in the final.
The hedge enters no earlier than 31 August
The semifinals in the first round will be played on 18 August and the finals on 21. On 22 August, the second round will be drawn where Häcken and Rosengård enter the tournament.
The second round will be decided from 31 August to 9 September.
The group game is played October 5-December 16.
