Unseeded Cardiff will face the Dutch seeds in a semi-final, with the winners to play either Valur of Iceland or North Macedonia's ZFK Ljuboten in Group Five's final.
Winners of 11 groups in the Champions Path then join higher-profile qualifiers from a League Path in round two, where ties are played over two legs.
Each first round mini-tournament will be hosted by one of the participants, with the two semi-finals to be played on Wednesday, 4 September, before the finals and third-place play-offs on Saturday, 7 September.
