2011–12 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase
This article details the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase. All times are CEST (UTC+02:00). Round and draw datesAll draws held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[1]
Matches may also be played on Tuesdays or Wednesdays instead of the regular Thursdays due to scheduling conflicts. FormatEach tie is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that has the higher aggregate score over the two legs progresses to the next round. In the event that aggregate scores finish level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs progresses. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time are played, divided into two fifteen-minute halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team qualifies by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shootout.[5] In the draw for each round, teams are seeded based on their 2011 UEFA club coefficients,[6] with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots. A seeded team is drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided randomly. Due to the limited time between matches, the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds take place before the results of the previous round are known. The seeding in each draw is carried out under the assumption that all of the highest-ranked clubs of the previous round are victorious. If a lower-ranked club is victorious, it simply takes the place of its defeated opponent in the next round. Prior to the draw, UEFA may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they are purely for convenience of the draw and do not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition, while ensuring that teams from the same association are not drawn against each other. TeamsBelow are the 135 teams involved in the qualifying phase, grouped by their starting rounds. Winners of the 35 ties in the third round qualified for the play-off round, along with 26 new entrants and 15 teams dropping down from the Champions League third qualifying round.
