Follow the Europa League round of 16 draw live on AS.com.

The Europa League is now entering its round of 16. After the dispute of the sixteenth, this Friday, February 26, the draw for the next round is held. Starting at 1:00 p.m., from the House of European Football in Nyom, Switzerland, the eight pairings will be known in search of eight places in the quarterfinals.

How is the draw?

Unlike the previous round, this draw is pure. In other words, there are no geographical or level restrictions due to what happened in previous phases. There are no seeds. In other words, Villarreal and Granada can face each other. The field factor will depend solely and exclusively on chance. Of course, UEFA reserves some nuances such as preventing clashes due to political problems. In the event that there is one, it will be communicated in the moments prior to the extraction of the balls.

In addition, there is the possibility, as has happened in the Champions League and this round of sixteenths, that some pairings cannot be played in the usual stadiums of the teams, due to sanitary restrictions imposed by governments due to the evolution of the pandemic. In general, there will be no public in the stadiums.
