Competition information
The UEFA Cup evolved from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and was first contested as the UEFA Cup in 1971/72. Nextseason the UEFA Cup will be reborn as the UEFA Europa League. The new name heralds major changes to thecompetition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presentingsponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo andvisual identity.
• Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA clubcompetition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions,a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequentodd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carriedforward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season.
• Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA clubcompetitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from the 2008/09 season at least eight places are reservedfor players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from withinthe same association of the said club. The 'B' list also continues to exist – involving an unlimited number of Under-21players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday.
A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the clubbetween the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at leastthree seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21.
• Away goals rule: For matches played under the cup (knockout) system, the team which scores the greater aggregateof goals in the two matches qualifies for the next round. If the two teams involved in a tie score the same number ofgoals over the two legs, the team which scores more away goals qualifies for the next stage. If this procedure doesnot produce a result, i.e, if the two teams score the same number of goals at home and away, extra time of two periodsof 15 minutes shall be played at the end of the second leg. If during extra time, both teams score the same numberof goals, away goals count double (i.e. the visiting club qualifies). If no goals are scored during extra time, penaltykicks determine which team qualifies.
• Player registration: UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Cup matches from the start of the Round of 32, a clubmay register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remaining matches in the currentcompetition. One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for anothercompeting club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fieldedby another club in the UEFA Cup this season or by a club that has transferred from the UEFA Champions League tothe UEFA Cup following the group stage.
