Estonian footballer Paskotši's club Gent to play for Europa League spot

Belgian top-flight club Gent, home to Estonian footballer Maksim Paskotši, finished fifth in the Belgian Pro League's championship group. The result earns them a playoff spot to compete for a European competition place.

Estonian footballer Maksim Paskotši's club KAA Gent has secured a playoff berth after finishing fifth in the Belgian Pro League's championship group at the end of the season.

The fifth-place finish means Gent will now compete in additional playoff matches for the right to qualify for European competition — most likely the UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League.

Paskotši has been one of the notable Estonian presences in Belgium's top division this season, and the club's European playoff campaign will give him further opportunity to shine on an international stage.
