UEFA Cup

\nThe UEFA Cup is a knock-out football competition for European club teams. It was founded in May 1955 as the Inter-Cities' Fairs Cup. It is the second most important competition for European club teams, the first being the UEFA Champions League. Qualification for the competition varies from country to country, with more places being offered to the more successful nations. Usually places are awarded to teams who finish in various runners-up places in the top-flight leagues of Europe, and winners of the main cup competitions; for example in England the team finishing 5th in the Premiership and the winners of the FA Cup and League Cup qualify. If the FA Cup winner has qualified for the Champions League via its league position, the runner-up will go to the UEFA Cup. However, if the League Cup winner qualifies for European play via its league position or the results of the FA Cup, the League Cup runner-up does not receive a UEFA Cup berth; the berth instead goes to the 6th-place team in the Premiership. The only countries which send their League Cup winners to the UEFA Cup are England and France. In all other countries, UEFA Cup places can be earned only by league placement or through the main cup competition. Three UEFA Cup berths each year are set aside for the three winners of the final matches in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Three more berths are given to federations that finish above a certain level in UEFA's Fair Play table. 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 the Fair Play entry is the highest-placed team in the Fair Play table of that federation's top league that has not already qualified for Europe.
