Distribution

The title holder would have been given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup through domestic performance; however, this additional entry was not necessary as Sevilla, winners of the 2005–06 UEFA Cup, qualified for the UEFA Cup through domestic performance. This means that the following changes to the default allocation system were made to compensate for the vacant title holder spot in the group stage:

  • The first UEFA Cup qualifying entrant of association 14 (Austria) gained direct access to the 1st round – Pasching.
  • The domestic cup winners of associations 19 and 20 (Switzerland and Norway) are moved from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

Notes
  1. ^
    Italy (ITA): Based on the initial final league positions, Roma, Lazio and Chievo earned direct entries to the UEFA Cup first round. Following 2006 Italian football scandal investigations (resulting in massive points deductions), Lazio lost their European entry entirely while Roma and Chievo were promoted to Champions League. Three Italian UEFA Cup berths were given to Palermo, Livorno, and Parma.[5]
  2. ^
    Greece (GRE): Greek league 6th-placed team PAOK failed to obtain UEFA licence and were replaced by the 7th-placed team, Atromitos.[6]
  3. ^
    Serbia (SRB): Serbia and Montenegro 3rd-placed team Voždovac failed to obtain UEFA licence and were replaced by the 4th-placed team, Hajduk Kula.[7] All Serbian club qualified for this season's UEFA competitions though Serbia and Montenegro domestic tournaments, but represented its official successor Serbia.[8]
  4. ^
    Kazakhstan (KAZ): Kazakhstan Cup winners Astana failed to obtain UEFA licence and were replaced by Cup runners-up, Kairat.[7]

Early issues

Italian match-fixing scandal

The 2006 Serie A scandal resulted in major changes to the clubs that originally qualified in Italy. Originally, Roma took the cup winners' place as losing finalists in the 2006 Coppa Italia, as the winners, Internazionale finished in the top four in the league and qualified for the Champions League. The other two UEFA Cup places initially went to Lazio and Chievo.

Lazio, however, as well as the remaining three Champions League qualifiers (Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina), were formally indicted on 22 June on charges relating to the scandal.[10]

On 14 July, all four of the indicated clubs were penalised by an Italian court and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). Results of the FIGC appeal were announced on 25 July. The impact on the UEFA Cup was:

  • Lazio were barred from European competition.
  • Roma and Chievo were promoted to the Champions League.
  • Palermo, Livorno and Parma were granted Italy's places in the UEFA Cup.

Greek Football Federation

FIFA suspended the Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) from all international competitions on 3 July 2006 because of "political interference in sport" after the Greek government passed a law, giving it control of the sports authorities in Greece. After the law was amended to address FIFA's objections, FIFA reinstated the HFF on 12 July. The Greek government in response, decided to withdraw all of its funding to the Hellenic Football Federation.[11]
