2005–06 UEFA Cup
The 2005–06 UEFA Cup season was won by Sevilla FC, beating Middlesbrough F.C. in the final. It was the first victory for Sevilla in a European competition, and the first appearance by Middlesbrough in a European final. The final took place at Philips Stadion, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The match was refereed by Herbert Fandel. Middlesbrough sealed their place in the final on the back of two dramatic comebacks. In the quarter finals they beat FC Basel of Switzerland 4–3 on aggregate (after losing the first leg 2–0 and being 1–0 down in the second leg, they scored 4 goals), this put them into the semi–final to face Steaua București. The first leg finished 1–0 to Steaua, and the second leg (at the Riverside Stadium again) finished 4–2 (after being 2–0 down). Sevilla went on to defend the trophy the following year.
CSKA Moscow were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage.

Distribution
Each association enters a certain number of teams to the UEFA Cup based on its league coefficient. Through domestic competitions (national championships and cups and league cups in certain countries) an association may qualify up to four teams. The following amendments were made to the 2005-06 qualification scheme:
- The defending UEFA Cup holder CSKA Moscow already qualified for the 2nd qualifying round, which means that the 1st UEFA Cup entrant of the 25th and 26th countries on the ranking list (Hungary and Romania) will gain direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
- Because Liverpool enters the 1st qualifying round of the Champions League, the 1st UEFA Cup entrant of 11th and 12th countries on the ranking list (Scotland and Belgium) will gain direct access to the 1st round of the UEFA Cup.
- In Kazakhstan, only Kairat Almaty obtained a UEFA license for the 2005/2006 season. The other teams from Kazakhstan were not allowed to compete. Therefore, the 1st UEFA Cup entrant of the 27th and 28th countries on the ranking list (Slovakia and Slovenia) will gain direct access to the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
- In Serbia and Montenegro, the cup winner Železnik was replaced by OFK Beograd because they did not obtain a UEFA license.
- In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the cup winner FK Sarajevo was replaced by Široki Brijeg, and 2nd in the league Zeljeznicar was replaced by Žepče, because they did not obtain a UEFA license.
