The 2005–06 UEFA Cup, the 35th edition of the UEFA Cup, was won by Sevilla, beating Middlesbrough 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 first UEFA Cup entrant of the 25th and 26th associations on the ranking list (Hungary and Romania) will gain direct access to the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
Because Liverpool entered the first qualifying round of the Champions League as title holders, the first UEFA Cup entrant of 11th and 12th associations on the ranking list (Scotland and Belgium) will gain direct access to the first round of the UEFA Cup.
In Kazakhstan, only Kairat Almaty obtained a UEFA licence for the 2005–06 season. The other teams from Kazakhstan were not allowed to compete. Therefore, the first UEFA Cup entrant of the 27th and 28th countries on the ranking list (Slovakia and Slovenia) will gain direct access to the second 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 licence.
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 licence.

Notes

^
Serbia and Montenegro (SCG): 2004–05 Serbia and Montenegro Cup winners Železnik failed to obtain UEFA licence and was replaced by league 4th-placed club OFK Beograd, as Cup runners-up Red Star Belgrade already qualified to UEFA Cup through league position.^[2]
^
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH): 2004–05 Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup winners Sarajevo and league runners-up Željezničar Sarajevo failed to obtain UEFA licenses and were replaced by two highest-placed teams that obtained them — Široki Brijeg (Cup runners-up and league 3rd-placed team) and Žepče (12th-placed team).^[3]
^
Kazakhstan (KAZ): 2004 Kazakhstan Cup winners Taraz and league runners-up Irtysh Pavlodar failed to obtain UEFA licences. Since no other team was able to obtain a licence as well, Kazakhstan was not represented in UEFA Cup.^[4]
