Association team allocation A total of 145 teams from 51 UEFA member associations participated in the 2002–03 UEFA Cup. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:Regulations of the UEFA Cup 2002/03 http://kassiesa.net/uefafiles/2002-uefa-uc-rules.pdf Union of European Football Associations 20 August 2014 26 PDF Associations 1–6 each had three teams qualified; Associations 7–8 each had four teams qualified; Associations 9–15 each had two teams qualified; Associations 16–21 each had three teams qualified; Associations 22–52 (except Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Andorra) each had two teams qualified; Liechtenstein (as they organized only a domestic cup and no domestic league), San Marino and Andorra had one team qualified; The top three associations of the 2001–02 UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking each gained an additional berth; Moreover, 24 teams eliminated from the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League were transferred to the UEFA Cup. The winners of the 2001–02 UEFA Cup were given an additional entry as title holders if they did not qualify for the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry was not necessary for this season since the title holders (Feyenoord) qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance. Association ranking For the 2002–03 UEFA Cup, the associations were allocated places according to their 2001 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 1996–97 to 2000–01.https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method2/crank2001.html UEFA Country Ranking 2001 Bert Kassies 20 August 2014https://kassiesa.net/uefa/history/qual2002.html Qualification for European Cup football 2002/03 Bert Kassies 20 August 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20160303212314/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/history/qual2002.html 3 March 2016 dead Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations had additional teams participating in the UEFA Cup, as noted below: (FP) – Additional berth via Fair Play ranking (Norway, England, Czech Republic)https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0185-0e6a457d7fe2-6cc5f81db13d-1000--uefa-cup-bonus-for-ipswich-and-sigma/ UEFA Cup bonus for Ipswich and Sigma UEFA Union of European Football Associations 28 May 2002 20 August 2014 (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the Champions League (UIC) – Additional teams qualified from the Intertoto Cup RankAssociationCoeff.TeamsNotes1ESP65.2103+1 (UIC)2ITA56.2393ENG51.288+1 (FP)+1 (UIC)+1 (UCL)4GER48.632+1 (UIC)5FRA 197442.352+3 (UCL)6NED30.2497TUR29.9754+1 (UCL)8GRE28.366+1 (UCL)9RUS27.708210POR26.274+2 (UCL)11CZE24.791+1 (FP)+2 (UCL)12BEL24.150+1 (UCL)13UKR23.833+2 (UCL)14AUT23.750+2 (UCL)15NOR23.600+1(FP)16SCO22.6253+1 (UCL)17SUI21.87518CRO19.999RankAssociationCoeff.TeamsNotes19SWE18.208320POL17.500+1 (UCL)21DEN17.175+1 (UCL)22ROU15.791223FRY15.415+1 (UCL)24HUN15.082+1 (UCL)25SVK14.66526ISR14.124+1 (UCL)27SVN11.99828BUL11.665+1 (UCL)29CYP 196010.832+1 (UCL)30GEO 19909.66631FIN8.54132LVA7.83233ISL5.33234BLR 19954.83235MDA4.499RankAssociationCoeff.TeamsNotes36LTU 19884.498237MKD Macedonia3.49738IRL2.99839EST2.49840ARM2.16541WAL2.16542AZE1.6650Note AZE43MLT1.665244LIE1.500145NIR1.331246BIH1.000+1 (UCL)47LUX0.66548FRO0.66549ALB 19920.49950SMR 18620.000151AND0.00052KAZ0.0002 Distribution Since the title holders (Feyenoord) qualified for the Champions League through their domestic performance, the first round spot reserved for the title holders was vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system were made: The domestic cup winners of associations 17 (Switzerland) and 18 (Croatia) were promoted from the qualifying round to the first round.

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