Qualification 2003/2004

UEFA European Cup Football
by Bert Kassies

This page shows a list of teams qualified for the 2003/2004 season of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. In the list below the country coefficients are from the UEFA Country Ranking 2002 and the team coefficients from the UEFA Team Ranking 2003. 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 2002, extended with 3 Intertoto + 3 Fair Play teams for the UEFA Cup.

Because the Champions League cup-holder (AC Milan) finished 3rd in the Italian league, there is an open spot in the 3rd qualification round. This implies that the champion of the 16th country on the country ranking list (Switzerland) will gain direct access to the 3rd qualifying round, and the champions of the 27th and 28th country on the country ranking list (Hungary and Slovenia) will gain direct access to the 2nd qualifying round.

The UEFA cup-holder spot is not used, because FC Porto already qualified for the Champions League. This means that the cup winners of Norway and Israel directly enter the 1st round of the UEFA Cup.
