The 2013–14 UEFA Europa League was the 43rd season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the fifth season under its current title.

The

2014 UEFA Europa League Final was played between Sevilla and Benfica at the Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy,[1] which was won by Sevilla on penalties, giving them a record-equalling third UEFA Cup/Europa League title.[2] Chelsea could not defend their title as they automatically qualified for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League
and also reached the knockout stage.

Association team allocation

A total of 194 teams from 53 of the 54

UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[5]

The winners of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League were given an additional entry as title holders if they did not qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry was not necessary for this season, because the title holders qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance.

Association ranking

For the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2012

UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2007–08 to 2011–12.[6][7]

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

Distribution

Since the title holders (Chelsea) qualified for the Champions League through their domestic performance, the group stage spot reserved for the title holders was vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system were made:[9][10]

  • The domestic cup winners of association 7 (Russia) were promoted from the play-off round to the group stage.
  • The domestic cup winners of association 16 (Cyprus) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the play-off round.
  • The domestic cup winners of association 19 (Czech Republic) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
  • The domestic cup winners of associations 33 (Republic of Ireland) and 34 (Slovenia) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

Redistribution rules

A Europa League place was vacated when a team qualified for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualified for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place was vacated, it was redistributed within the national association by the following rules:[5]

  • When the domestic cup winners (considered as the "highest-placed" qualifier within the national association with the latest starting round) also qualified for the Champions League, their Europa League place was vacated. As a result, either of the following teams qualified for the Europa League:
    • The domestic cup runners-up, provided they had not yet qualified for European competitions, qualified for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (with the earliest starting round), with the other Europa League qualifiers moved up one "place".
    • Otherwise, the highest-placed team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions qualified for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finished above them in the league moved up one "place".
  • When the domestic cup winners also qualified for the Europa League through league position, their place through the league position was vacated. As a result, the highest-placed team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions qualified for the Europa League, with the Europa League qualifiers which finished above them in the league moved up one "place" if possible.
  • For associations where a Europa League place was reserved for the League Cup winners, they always qualified for the Europa League as the "lowest-placed" qualifier (or as the second "lowest-placed" qualifier in cases where the cup runners-up qualified as stated above). If the League Cup winners had already qualified for European competitions through other methods, this reserved Europa League place was taken by the highest-placed league team in the league which had not yet qualified for European competitions.
  • A Fair Play place was taken by the highest-ranked team in the domestic Fair Play table which had not yet qualified for European competitions.

    Qualifying rounds

    Main article: 2013–14 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase

    In the qualifying rounds and the play-off round, teams were divided into seeded and unseeded teams based on their 2013

    UEFA club coefficients,[37][38][39] and then drawn into two-legged home-and-away ties
    . Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.

    First qualifying round

    The draws for the first and second qualifying rounds were held on 24 June 2013.[40] The first legs were played on 2, 3 and 4 July, and the second legs were played on 9, 10 and 11 July 2013.

    Inter Turku lodged a protest after losing the second leg to Víkingur Gøta,[41][42] and two match officials were later banned for life by UEFA for attempted match-fixing.[43]

      On 14 August 2013, Metalist Kharkiv were disqualified from the 2013–14 UEFA club competitions because of previous match-fixing.[20] UEFA decided to replace Metalist Kharkiv in the Champions League play-off round with PAOK, who were eliminated by Metalist Kharkiv in the third qualifying round.[21] Thus, Maccabi Tel Aviv, the opponent of PAOK in the Europa League play-off round, qualified directly for the Europa League group stage.
