The 2013–14 UEFA Europa League will be the 43rd season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 5th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The 2014 UEFA Europa League Final will be played at the Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy.[1]
Association team allocation
NOTE: Regulations for the three-year UEFA competition cycle beginning in the 2012–13 season have been approved by UEFA. The access list below is based on the regulations for the 2012–13 season,[2] which is changed from the 2011–12 season. |
A total of 194 or 195 teams from 53 UEFA associations are expected to participate in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
- Associations 1–6 each have three teams qualify
- Associations 7–9 each have four teams qualify
- Associations 10–51 (except Liechtenstein) each have three teams qualify
- Associations 52–53 each have two teams qualify
- Liechtenstein has one team qualify (as it organises only a domestic cup and no domestic league)
- The winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League, i.e., the title holder, are given an additional entry if they do not qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through domestic performance
- The top three associations of the 2012–13 UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking each gain an additional berth
- Moreover, 33 teams eliminated from the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League are transferred to the Europa League
Note: The qualification scheme above can be changed slightly depending on the identity of the winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League.
Association ranking
For the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2012 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2007–08 to 2011–12.[3]
|
|
|
- Notes
- (FP): Additional berth via Fair Play ranking (associations TBD)
- (UCL): Additional teams transferred from the Champions League
Distribution
NOTE: The following is the default allocation system, and is subject to changes based on whether the title holder spot is used (see below).[4]
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | Teams transferred from Champions League | |
|---|---|---|---|
| First qualifying round (78 teams) |
|
||
| Second qualifying round (80 teams) |
|
|
|
| Third qualifying round (58 teams) |
|
|
|
| Play-off round (62 teams) |
|
|
|
| Group stage (48 teams) |
|
|
|
| Knockout phase (32 teams) |
|
|
If the Europa League title holder qualifies for the Champions League or the Europa League through domestic performance, the default allocation system above will have to be altered as some places become vacant. When moving entrants to later qualifying rounds, priority is given to domestic cup winners of the highest-ranked associations.
Redistribution rules
A Europa League place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualifies for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules:
- When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated. As a result, either of the following teams qualify for the Europa League:
- The domestic cup runners-up, provided they have not yet qualified for European competitions, qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (with the earliest starting round), with the other Europa League qualifiers moved up one "place".
- Otherwise, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place".
- When the domestic cup winners also qualify for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position is vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions qualify for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finish above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible.
- For associations where a Europa League place is reserved for the League Cup winners, they always qualify for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (or as the second "lowest-placed" qualifier in cases where the cup runners-up qualify as stated above). If the League Cup winners have already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place is taken by the highest-placed league team in the league which have not yet qualified for European competitions.
- A Fair Play place is taken by the highest-ranked team in the domestic Fair Play table which have not yet qualified for European competitions.
Teams
NOTE: The follow list of qualified teams is provisional, subject to final confirmation by UEFA in June 2013 (e.g., each club needs to obtain a UEFA license to compete).
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:[5]
- TH: Title holders
- CW: Cup winners
- CR: Cup runners-up
- LC: League Cup winners
- Nth: League position
- P-: End-of-season European competition play-offs (winners or position)
- FP: Fair Play
- UCL: Transferred from the Champions League
- GS: Third-placed teams from the group stage
- PO: Losers from the play-off round
- Q3: Losers from the third qualifying round
Note: Teams listed in italics may still qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League either through their domestic league or by winning the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League.
- Notes
- Belarus (BLR): Dinamo Minsk will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round if the 2012–13 Belarusian Cup is won by Shakhtyor Salihorsk or Dinamo Minsk.
- Sweden (SWE): Malmö FF will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round if the 2012–13 Svenska Cupen is won by Elfsborg, Häcken or Malmö FF.
