The 2009–10 UEFA Europa League will be the first season of the UEFA Europa League, the competition previously known as UEFA Cup, which had been in existence for 39 years.[1]

The final will be played at the HSH Nordbank Arena, home ground of Hamburger SV, in Hamburg, Germany.[2]

Team allocation

A total of 192 teams from 53 UEFA associations are expected to participate in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League. Countries are allocated places according to their UEFA league co-efficient.

The previous season's winners, Shakhtar Donetsk, would have been guaranteed a place in the group stage even if they did not obtain a qualifying place through their domestic league. However, as Shakhtar qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the original allocation places will be altered to compensate for the vacant title holder spot in the group stage. As this is the first edition of the Europa League, it was initially unknown whether UEFA would simply disregard the vacant Title Holder spot and rearrange entries so that one more team qualifies from the Play-off Round, or replace the Title Holders group stage place with that of the top ranked association's cup winner and move teams from lower rounds appropriately, as the regulations are unclear on this matter.[3] The former setup was confirmed by the UEFA official list of participants, published on 16 June 2009.[4]

Below is the qualification scheme as the Title Holder spot is not replaced:

  • Associations 1-6 each enter three teams
  • Associations 7-9 each enter four teams
  • Associations 10-53 each enter three teams, except Liechtenstein, Andorra and San Marino, who enter one team each

Distribution

  • 14 domestic league runners-up from associations 37-51 (except Liechtenstein)
  • 29 domestic league 3rd place teams from associations 22-51 (except Liechtenstein)
  • 3 teams from the Fair Play initiative

  • 23 winners from the first qualifying round

Group stage (48 teams)

Final phase (32 teams)

Teams

As the title holder, Shakhtar Donetsk, qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the original allocation places were altered to compensate for the vacant title holder spot in the group stage. No club will replace the Title Holder spot. As a result, the Swiss Cup winner and Bulgarian Cup winner (Sion and Litex Lovech, respectively), were moved from the third qualifying round to the Play-off round; the Cypriot Cup winner and Slovenian Cup winner (APOP and Interblock Ljubljana) were moved from the second qualifying round to the third, and the Andorran Cup winner, San Marino Cup winner, League of Ireland third-placed team and Macedonian league runner-up, (Santa Coloma, Juvenes/Dogana, Derry City and Milano) were moved from the first qualifying round to the second.[4]
