The 2003–04 UEFA Cup was won by Valencia in the final against Marseille. It wrapped up a league and UEFA Cup double for Valencia.

Porto could not defend their title as they automatically qualified for the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League and also went on to win the final for their second European Cup title.

Association team allocation

A total of 145 teams from 51 of 52 UEFA member associations participated in the 2003–04 UEFA Cup (the exception being Azerbaijan which was suspended). 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 Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein, 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:

Association ranking

For the 2003–04 UEFA Cup, the associations were allocated places according to their 2002 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 1997–98 to 2001–02.[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

Final phase

Main article: 2003–04 UEFA Cup final phase

In the final phase, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:[1]

  • In the draws for the third and fourth rounds, teams were seeded and divided into groups containing an equal number of seeded and unseeded teams. In each group, the seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the first team drawn hosting the first leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings and teams from the same association could be drawn against each other.
