2004–05 UEFA Cup

The 2004–05 UEFA Cup was the 34th edition of the UEFA Cup. The format of the competition had changed from previous seasons, replacing that from the previous one after the abolition of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1999; an extra qualifying round was introduced, as was a group phase after the first round. The group stage operated in a single round-robin format consisting of eight groups of five teams, each team plays two games at home and two away and the top three finishers of each group progress to the knock-out round, joining the eight third-placed teams from the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The tournament was won by CSKA Moscow, coming from behind in the final against Sporting CP, in whose home stadium the match was played. It was the first win by a Russian side in any European competition. The match was refereed by Graham Poll.

Valencia were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Steaua București in the Round of 32 after dropping out of the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.

Association team allocation

A total of 145 teams from 51 of 52 UEFA member associations participated in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup (the exception being Kazakhstan which had no clubs meeting licensing requirements). The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:^[1]

• Associations 1–6 and 16–21 each had three teams qualify.
• Associations 7–8 each had four teams qualify.
• Associations 9–15 and 22–52 (except Liechtenstein, Kazakhstan, Andorra and San Marino) each had two teams qualify.
• Liechtenstein (as they organized only a domestic cup and no domestic league), Andorra and San Marino had only one team that qualified.

Moreover, the following teams also qualified for the competition:

• 24 teams eliminated from the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the UEFA Cup.
• 3 teams advancing from the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup were transferred to the UEFA Cup.
• 3 associations had one additional team qualify via the UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking.

Association ranking

For the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, the associations were allocated places according to their 2003 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 1998–99 to 2002–03.^[2]

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the UEFA Cup, as noted below:

• (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
• (IC) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Intertoto Cup
• (FP) – Additional berth via Fair Play ranking
