Do Europa Conference League winners qualify for the Europa League?
GettyThe simple answer is yes, but there is more to it.
Besides swelling the bank balance by a fair bit, the winners of the Europa Conference League will be granted a spot in the Europa League group stage proper - unless, of course, they secure Champions League football via their standing in their domestic league.
Apart from that, the winner is also eligible to earn the extra buck from TV rights, sponsors and ticket sales among the other means in the competition.
