Vallecano ranked eighth in La Liga in the 20 12-20 13 season. Due to financial problems, Malaga was banned from participating in European competitions by UEFA. Malaga, ranked sixth in the league, vacated a Europa League seat, which Vallecano could normally fill. However, because Vallecano himself defaulted on his debts, the Spanish Football Association refused to grant him the qualification to participate in European competitions, and Vallecano appealed to the international arbitration court.
Although the international arbitration court did not directly pronounce a verdict, it said that it would hold a hearing in the next few weeks to fully understand and judge the specific situation of Vallecano, but this will inevitably make Vallecano miss the draw, so Seville, ranked 9 th in La Liga, will take its place.
