Qualification 2002/2003

UEFA European Cup Football
by Bert Kassies

This page shows the list of teams qualified for the 2002/2003 season of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. In the list below the country coefficients are from the UEFA Country Ranking 2001 and the team coefficients from the UEFA Team Ranking 2002. The team coefficients are used for seeding of draws. See UEFA European Cup Football for more information.

The number of teams of each country is determined by the position in the UEFA Country Ranking 2001, extended with 3 Intertoto + 3 Fair Play teams for the UEFA Cup.

The Champions League cup-holder spot in the 1st group stage is used by Real Madrid. But Real Madrid finished 3rd in the Spanish League, which would imply playing in the 3rd qualification round. This leaves an open spot in the 3rd qualification round. The champion of Scotland (Celtic) will now enter the 3rd qualification round directly, and the champions of Slovenia (NK Maribor) and Bulgaria (Levski Sofia) will enter the 2nd qualification round.

The UEFA cup-holder spot is not used, because Feyenoord already qualified for the Champions league. This means that the cup winners of Switzerland and Croatia (Dinamo Zagreb) directly enter the 1st round of the UEFA Cup. Because the cup winner of Switzerland (FC Basel) already qualified for the Champions league, the cup winner spot of Switzerland will be taken by the highest league entrant Grasshopper-Club Zürich.
