UEFA European Cup Football

Last update:

This page shows the access list for the 2014/2015 season of the Champions League and the Europa League. In this list the sequence of the countries is determined by the UEFA Country Ranking 2013. See UEFA European Cup Football for more information.

The Champions League cup-holder spot will not be used because Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid already qualified for the group stage of the Champions League. This implies that the champion of the 13th country on the ranking list (Switzerland) has direct access to the group stage, the champion of the 16th country on the ranking list (Austria) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the champions of the 47th and 48th countries on the ranking list (Northern Ireland and Wales) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League.

The title holders Sevilla already qualified for the group stage of the Europa League. This implies that the cup winner of the 7th country on the ranking list (Ukraine) has direct access to the group stage, the cup winner of the 16th country on the ranking list (Austria) has direct access to the 4th qualifying round, the cup winner of the 19th country on the ranking list (Israel) has direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the cup winners of the 33th and 34th countries on the ranking list (Finland and Bosnia-Herzegovina) have direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
