Notes Note ITA Italy (ITA): Based on the initial final league positions, Roma, Lazio and Chievo earned direct entries to the UEFA Cup first round. Following 2006 Italian football scandal investigations (resulting in massive points deductions), Lazio lost their European entry entirely while Roma and Chievo were promoted to Champions League. Three Italian UEFA Cup berths were given to Palermo, Livorno, and Parma.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/5215178.stm Punishments cut for Italian clubs BBC 25 July 2006 30 July 2006 https://web.archive.org/web/20060822214348/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/5215178.stm 22 August 2006 live Note GRE Greece (GRE): Greek league 6th-placed team PAOK failed to obtain UEFA licence and were replaced by the 7th-placed team, Atromitos.https://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/news/Kind=1/newsId=430235.html UEFA confirms PAOK absence UEFA 2013-04-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20060706213828/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/news/Kind%3D1/newsId%3D430235.html 2006-07-06 dead Note SRB Serbia (SRB): Serbia and Montenegro 3rd-placed team Voždovac failed to obtain UEFA licence and were replaced by the 4th-placed team, Hajduk Kula.https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/FinancialFairPlay/02/32/60/65/2326065_DOWNLOAD.pdf Club Licensing: 10 Years on...

Originally, Roma took the cup winners' place as losing finalists in the 2006 Coppa Italia, as the winners, Internazionale finished in the top four in the league and qualified for the Champions League. The other two UEFA Cup places initially went to Lazio and Chievo. Lazio, however, as well as the remaining three Champions League qualifiers (Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina), were formally indicted on 22 June on charges relating to the scandal.https://www.thetimes.com/article/top-italian-football-teams-charged-with-fraud-mptj5nmfv9j Top Italian football teams charged with fraud 2025-01-19 Times Online London 22 June 2006 Richard Owen On 14 July, all four of the indicated clubs were penalised by an Italian court and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). Results of the FIGC appeal were announced on 25 July. The impact on the UEFA Cup was: Lazio were barred from European competition. Roma and Chievo were promoted to the Champions League. Palermo, Livorno and Parma were granted Italy's places in the UEFA Cup. Greek Football Federation FIFA suspended the Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) from all international competitions on 3 July 2006 because of "political interference in sport" after the Greek government passed a law, giving it control of the sports authorities in Greece. After the law was amended to address FIFA's objections, FIFA reinstated the HFF on 12 July. The Greek government in response, decided to withdraw all of its funding to the Hellenic Football Federation.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/5141866.stm Greece given suspension by FIFA BBC Sport 4 July 2006 Qualifying rounds 2006–07 UEFA Cup qualifying rounds First qualifying round Q1 Second qualifying round Q2 First round 2006–07 UEFA Cup first round R1 Group stage 2006–07 UEFA Cup group stage Europe 600 right Teams that have qualified for the group stage of the 2006–07 UEFA Cup8px Red: Group A; 8px Yellow: Group B; 8px Green: Group C; 8px Black: Group D; 8px Purple: Group E; 8px Pink: Group F; 8px Blue: Group G; 8px Orange: Group H.
