NYON, Switzerland — The unlikely path of KI Klaksvík from the Faeroe Islands toward the Champions League group stage would go through Galatasaray or Olimpija Ljubljana in the playoff round. It was drawn on Monday ahead of games starting on Tuesday in the third qualifying round. KI already eliminated Hungary's Ferencváros and Hacken of Sweden to ensure it will play in one of the three men's club competition group stages that start next month. That's a first for a Faroese club. KI returns to action Tuesday hosting Norwegian champion Molde in the first leg of the third qualifying round.
