96-97 Competitors in Euro Competitions

The number of places in each competition allocated to each country depends on the UEFA Coefficients. This is explained in more detail here. The number of places in the Intertoto Cup (UIC) will in general be the same as the number of places in UEFA Cup (EC3). I know there is more information (indeed you can find most of it in my other pages) to be filled in at the moment - I'll get to it in the next week or so.
