The UEFA Europa League 2009–10 will be the first season under a new name for the competition previously known as UEFA Cup. The final will be played at the HSH Nordbank Arena, home ground of Hamburger SV, in Hamburg, Germany.

Association Team Allocation

A total of 160 teams are expected to participate in the 2009-10 UEFA Europa League, from 53 UEFA associations. Countries are allocated places according to their UEFA league co-efficient. The UEFA Cup 2008-09 title holder will be guaranteed a place in the group stage even if they do not obtain a qualifying place through their domestic league, unless they qualify for the Champions League.

The allocation system may change depending on the title holder's domestic placing. It is unclear exactly how it would change should the title holders qualify for the Champions League, as the qualifying process is different from previous years and UEFA have not released any information on the matter.

Below is the qualification scheme for the 2009-10 UEFA Europa League:

  • Associations 1-6 each have 3 teams qualify
  • Associations 7-9 each have 4 teams qualify
  • Associations 10-53 each have 3 teams qualify, except Liechtenstein, Andorra and San Marino (one team each)
