.............................. UEFA Intertoto Cup
Logo and Trademark..............................
The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup is a summer football competition for European clubs that have not qualified for one of the two major UEFA competitions, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. Any club which wishes to participate must apply for entry, with the highest placed club (by league position in their domestic league) at the end of the season entering the competition. The club does not necessarily have to be ranked directly below the clubs which have qualified for another UEFA competition; if the club which is in this position did not apply, they will not be eligible to compete in the Intertoto Cup, with the space instead going to the club which did apply.
The cup bills itself as providing both an opportunity for clubs who otherwise would not get the chance to enter the UEFA Cup, but also as an opportunity for sports lotteries (or pools) to continue during the summer. This reflects its background, which was as a tournament solely for football pools. In 1995, the tournament came under official UEFA sanctioning[2] and UEFA Cup qualification places were granted. Initially two were provided, but in 2006 this number was increased to the current total of eleven.
When the competition started into 1995, the format was both a group stage and a knockout stage; 60 teams were split into 12 groups of five with the 16 best teams then contesting the knockout stage with two-legged ties at each stage; the two winning finalists qualifying for the UEFA Cup. In 1996 and 1997 just the 12 group winners entered the knockout round, with now three finalists advancing. Nations were allocated places according to their UEFA coefficients, much as with other UEFA tournaments.
The group stage was scrapped for the 1998 tournament, which became a straight knockout-tournament, with clubs from more successful nations entering at a later stage. This arrangement lasted until 2005. For the 2006 tournament, the format for the Cup changed. There are three rounds instead of the previous five, and the eleven winning teams from the third round went through to the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.[5] For the first time since the 1960s, there is provision for an actual trophy — whichever sides go furthest in the UEFA Cup will each be awarded a trophy. The first winners were Newcastle United, who won the 2006 tournament outright by going further in the 2006-07 UEFA Cup than the other ten qualifiers.
Only one team from each national association will be allowed to enter. However, should one or more nations not take up their place, the possibility has been left open for nations to have a second entrant. Seedings and entry are determined by each association, Teams from the weakest federations enter at the first round stage, while those from mid level federations enter in the second round, and those from the strongest federations enter in the third round.
