technical procedure the 36 teams that have qualified for the league phase are divided into four pots pot One features the UEFA Champions League title holders plus the top eight qualified teams in the UEFA Club coefficient ranking partt two comprises the next nine qualified teams in the ranking and so on for pots three and four the draw will determine the eight opponents for each team that they will face during the new league phase to assign these teams opponents a computer software will be triggered to select at random two eligible teams from each pot it will take into account the following conditions before selecting the opponents teams from the same National Association cannot be drawn against each other teams can face a maximum of two opponents from any one other National Association starting with pot one a ball is manually drawn at random and opened to display the team at which point an automated software randomly draws eight opponents for this team two from each pot including for each opponent whether they are played at home or away the software randomly draws opponents from each pot from amongst all the valid options while ensuring that the draw can be continued until the end once a valid allocation has been drawn by the software the opponents and which matches are played at home or away will be [Music] revealed the process is repeated until all nine teams from pot one have been drawn and assigned their eight opponents any opponent that has already been drawn does not need to be revealed and will be displayed directly in the opponent's overview once all nine pot one teams have been drawn pot two will follow with a ball again manually drawn at random as all opponents of pot one have been designated the software moves immediately to draw two opponents at random from each of pots 2 to 4 again allocating which matches are played at home and which are played away pot three and pot four will be completed as per the same procedure as previous pots with only opponents from the relevant remaining pots to be drawn each time it is important to note that the display of ties is shown for the Home and Away ties by pot and does not represent the order of the matches of each team the match calendar with the dates and kickoff times of the matches will be released on Saturday [Music] right it's almost time to get the draw for the 20242 Champions League going
