Fair Play bonus for Germans and Danes
Germany and Denmark have earned places in the first qualifying round of next season's UEFA Cup thanks to their associations' placing in UEFA's final Fair Play rankings for the 2007/08 season.
The two associations join an additional English club in the first qualifying round of next season's UEFA Cup after a draw at the City of Manchester Stadium in north-west England - the venue for Wednesday's final between FC Zenit St. Petersburg and Rangers FC. The draw was made by Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor and Zenit striker Pavel Pogrebnyak, who are absent from the final through injury and suspension respectively.
England automatically gained an extra UEFA Cup place after finishing top of the 2007/08 UEFA Fair Play ranking. Seven other national associations - Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Spain and France - all with a coefficient equal to, or higher than, 8.0 went into the draw for the other two places.
