Intertoto Cup 2008

(From 21-06-2008 to 27-07-2008)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

·          50 teams (best qualified clubs in domestic Leagues not participating in any other European competition) playing knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decides the winner. Ties are resolved with: 1) the “away goals double value” rule; 2) a 30 minutes extra-time after regulation; 3) a penalty shoot-out (pk).

·          The participants access the competition in different rounds depending basically on their country's classification in UCR (UEFA Country Ranking), so that top “seeded” teams are bye from the first rounds.

·          The 11 winners after the Third Round receive a “wild card” to participate in the Second Qualifying Round of UEFA Cup.
