Revealed: Complete list of Hibs' potential Europa League opponents

The full list of clubs participating in the Europa League qualifying rounds has been confirmed, with Hibs '“ as expected '“ being named as one of the seeds for the first round.

The Easter Road club will avoid teams such as Danish side FC Copenhagen and Slovenian cracks Maribor – who knocked Hibs out of continental competition in season 2010/11 – in the first qualifying round. The biggest name Hibs could face at that stage is former Hungarian champions Ferencvaros.

Should Hibs negotiate their first hurdle in Europe, they will be unseeded for the second round and could be pitted against some of the marquee names in the competition. Former winners Sevilla are the highest ranked side, while Hibs could also face Turkish giants Besiktas or RB Leipzig of Germany, who made the quarter-finals of this competition just last season.

Hibs will discover their opponents when the draw is made at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, on Tuesday, June 19.
