The Scanians had 2-0 with them to the away return in the playoff against Bulgarian Ludogorets and won the qualifying match with a total of 3-2 after a loss in the return.

MFF's Veljko Birmancevic scored a free kick to make it 1-1 in the first half, via the wall.

Before that, the Scanians had a goal ruled out for offside.

Goalkeeper change

MFF was also forced to a goalkeeper change before the break when Johan Dahlin went out with an injury.

Ismael Diawara, the new acquisition from Degerfors, replaced.

Ludogorets took the lead with both 1-0 and 2-1 - the last goal with 30 minutes left to play - but the Bulgarians never came closer.

Thus, MFF can look forward to playing in the biggest football tournament for club teams in Europe this autumn.

Can meet big teams

The group game starts on 14-15 September and the groups are drawn on Thursday.

There, MFF can face clubs such as Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig.

There may also be opposition in the form of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atalanta.

The advancement to CL's group games means that MFF can include at least around SEK 160 million in payments from Uefa (European Football Association).

All prize money in UEFA's club team tournaments can be found in the fact box below.
