Tottenham Hotspur, ˈtɒʔnəm is an English professional football club which currently plays in the Premier League. The 'one club per city' rule, inherited from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, was dropped in 1975. History Spanish era The first competition was to be held over two seasons to avoid clashes with national leagues fixtures English club Everton F.C. had finished fourth in the English league and could thus qualify but were barred from entry because city rivals Liverpool F.C. had also qualified by coming second.

Everton appealed, saying the rule was an unfair anachronism, and UEFA agreed to overturn it. An anachronism (from the Greek "ana" " ανά " "against anti-" and "chronos" " χρόνος "
The competition was traditionally open to the runners-up of domestic leagues, but in 1999 the competition was merged with UEFA's third European competition, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Since then, the winners of domestic cup competitions have also entered the UEFA Cup. Also, clubs eliminated in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League and the third placed teams at the end of the group phase could go on to compete in the UEFA Cup. Also admitted to the competition are three Fair Play representatives, eleven UEFA Intertoto Cup winners, and winners of some selected domestic league cup competitions. The UEFA Fair Play ranking is used by UEFA to grant three berths for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup. The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup, was a summer football competition for

The regulations also state that the original trophy is handed to any club that wins the UEFA Cup three times in a row or five times overall though this has yet to occur as of 2008. Four teams have achieved the great accomplishment of winning their domestic league, domestic cup and the UEFA Cup in the same season, those being IFK Göteborg in 1982, Galatasaray in 2000, F.C.

Qualification
- See also: UEFA coefficients
Qualification for the competition is based on UEFA coefficients with more places being offered to the more successful nations. See also UEFA European Football Championship, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup In European football, the UEFA coefficients See also UEFA European Football Championship, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup In European football, the UEFA coefficients Usually places are awarded to teams who finish in various runners-up places in the top-flight leagues of Europe and the winners of the main cup competitions. A few countries have secondary cup competitions but the only countries which currently grant a UEFA Cup place to their secondary cup winners are England and France. The Football League Cup, commonly known as the League Cup, is an English football competition The Coupe de la Ligue, the French League Cup is an elimination cup competition organised by the Ligue de Football Professionnel.
If the previous UEFA Cup title-holders are not eligible to take part in either of the current UEFA club competitions (UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup) by virtue of their domestic form, the UEFA Administration may, at the request of the association of the club concerned, admit this club to the current UEFA Cup competition. Its participation will not be at the expense of the contingent of its association.
Qualification can be quite complicated if one team qualifies for European competition through two different routes. In all cases, if a club is eligible to enter the UEFA Champions League then the Champions League place takes precedence and the club does not enter the UEFA Cup. See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club The UEFA Cup place is then granted to another club. If a team qualifies for European competition through both winning a cup and league placing, the "spare" UEFA Cup place will go to either the cup runners-up or the highest placed league team which has not already qualified for European competition, depending on the rules of the national association.
Qualification for the UEFA Cup can also be attained in two other ways:
- The eleven winners in the third round of the UEFA Intertoto Cup enter the UEFA Cup at the second qualifying round stage from the 2006-07 season. The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup, was a summer football competition for Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.
- Three more berths are given to federations that finish above a certain level in UEFA's Fair Play table. The UEFA Fair Play ranking is used by UEFA to grant three berths for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup. The top-placed federation automatically receives a Fair Play entry and two other federations gain berths via a draw among all other federations that meet qualifying criteria. In all cases, the recipient of a country's Fair Play entry is the highest-placed team in the Fair Play table of that country's top league that has not already qualified for Europe.
More recently, clubs that are knocked out of the qualifying round and the group stage of the Champions League can also join the UEFA Cup, at different stages (see below).
Competition format
The current competition format was first adopted for the 2004-05 season. The major change was the introduction of a group stage and two qualifying rounds instead of one. Additional changes were introduced for 2006-07 season due to the changes in the UEFA Intertoto Cup format. The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup, was a summer football competition for UEFA will change the format to have twelve groups of four teams in the second round instead of the current eight groups of five teams, starting in the season 2009/2010. [4]
Historical formats
The competition was traditionally a pure knockout tournament. All ties were two-legged, including the final. Starting with the 1998 event, the final became a one-off match, but all other ties remained two-legged. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar)
Before the 2004-05 season, the tournament consisted of one qualifying round, followed by a series of knockout rounds. The 16 losers in the third qualifying round of the Champions League entered at the first round proper; later in the tournament, the survivors would be joined by third-place finishers in the group phase of the Champions League. See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club
Current format
The UEFA Cup starts with two knockout qualifying rounds held in July and August. Participants from associations ranked 18 and lower enter the first qualifying round, and participants from associations ranked 9-18 join them in the second qualifying round. In addition, three places in the first qualifying round are reserved for the Fair Play winners, and eleven places in the second qualifying round are reserved for the UEFA Intertoto Cup winners. The UEFA Fair Play ranking is used by UEFA to grant three berths for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup. The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup, was a summer football competition for
Winners of the qualifying rounds join teams from the associations ranked 1-13 in the first round proper. In addition, losers in the third qualifying round of the Champions League also enter this round, and another place is reserved for the title-holders. There are 80 teams total in this round.
After the first round proper, the 40 survivors enter a group phase, with the clubs being drawn into eight groups of five each. Unlike the Champions League group phase, the UEFA Cup group phase is played in a single round-robin format, with each club playing two home and two away games. The top three teams in each of the eight groups advance, 24 in total, where they are joined by the eight third-place teams in the Champions League group phase.
After the group stage there is a winter break. From this point, knockout play resumes, with two-legged ties leading to the one-off final, which is held at a neutral ground meeting UEFA's criteria for a four star stadium.
Seeding is used to protect stronger teams in the qualifying rounds, first round and group stage.
Most ties are played on Thursdays, with a minority played on Wednesdays.
New format in 2009/2010
On November, 30th 2007 UEFA decided to introduce a new format for the UEFA Cup for the three-year cycle, starting in the season 2009/2010. The biggest change is that there will be a group stage with 12 groups of 4 (in a double round robin) instead of 8 groups of 5. Apart from that, the qualification will change significantly. [5]
Associations ranked 7-9 will send the Cup winner and 3 other teams to the UEFA Cup qualification, all other nations send a Cup winner and 2 other teams, except Liechtenstein, Andorra and San Marino, who will only send a Cup winner. Usually, the other teams will be the next highest ranked clubs in each domestic league after those participating in the Champions League, however France and England will most likely continue to use one spot for their League Cup winner. See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club Additionally, 3 places in the first of four qualifying rounds are still reserved for Fair Play winners. The UEFA Fair Play ranking is used by UEFA to grant three berths for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
Generally, the higher an association is ranked in the UEFA coefficients, the later its clubs start in the qualification, however every team except the title holder has to play at least one qualification round.
Apart from the teams mentioned, an additional 15 losing teams from the Champions League qualification round 2 will enter in the last UEFA Cup qualification round, and the 10 losers of the Champions League qualification round 3 will directly enter the UEFA Cup group stage. The 12 winners and the 12 runners-up in the group stage will advance to the first knock out round, together with 8 3rd placed teams from the Champions League.
The Intertoto Cup will be abolished and folded into the UEFA Cup, much like the Cup Winners' Cup had been in the late 1990s. The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup, was a summer football competition for
