Once the third qualifying round has been completed, the 32
remaining clubs are drawn into eight groups of four. For the draw
of the group stage, the 32 teams are divided into four pots.
Pot 1 will comprise last year's title holders and the top seven
clubs in the team ranking. Pot 2 will comprise the following
eight clubs in the rankings, and so on. Each group in the
group stage will contain one team of each pot. But it takes a
very complicated draw procedure (see
last year's draw procedure) to determine to which group a particular team
is allocated. One objective of the draw is that teams from the
same country cannot not be drawn into the same group.

The eight group-winners and eight runners-up of the group stage qualify
for the second round. The clubs that finish this stage in third position in
their group move into the third round of the current UEFA Cup. The clubs
that finish this stage in fourth position in their group are eliminated.
The draw for the 2nd round takes the following rules into account: |
