The draw for the Group stage of the UEFA Cup has been made in Nyon.
Forty qualifiers were divided into eight groups of five as the competition adopts a group system for the first time in its history.
Each club will play two matches at home and two away on the following dates: 21 October, 4 November, 25 November, 1/2 December, 15/16 December.
The winners, runners-up and third-placed clubs from each group will advance to the last 32 where they are joined by the eight third-placed clubs from the Champions League group stage.
