Winner of the 2009–10 FA Cup competition will qualify for the play-off round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. Winner of the 2009–10 Football League Cup competition will qualify for the third qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. More about European qualification: a. The sixth-placed team will qualify for the UEFA Europa League if the FA Cup winners qualify for the UEFA Champions League with FA Cup losing finalists or the League Cup winners finish fifth or higher; b. The seventh-placed team will qualify for the UEFA Europa League if the FA Cup winners qualify for the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup losing finalists and the League Cup winners finish sixth or higher; c. A further place in the UEFA Europa League is available via the Fair Play initiative. If the Premier League has one of the three highest Fair PlayF20 rankings in Europe, and an average Fair Play score of eight or greater, then the highest ranked team in the Premier League Fair Play standings not already qualified for Europe will automatically qualify for the UEFA Europa League First Qualifying Round.[1] For further information on European qualification see Premier League - Competition.
