[edit] Association team allocation
Number of allocated teams per country in 2010–11 UEFA Champions League.A total of 76 teams will participate in the 2010–11 Champions League, from 52 UEFA associations (Liechtenstein organizes no domestic league competition). Countries are allocated places according to their 2009 UEFA league coefficient, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2004–05 to 2008–09.[2]
Below is the qualification scheme for the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League:[3]
Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify
Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify
Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify
Associations 16–53 each have one team qualify (excluding Liechtenstein)
[edit] Distribution
Since the winners of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League, Internazionale, obtained a place in the group stage through their domestic league placing, the reserved defending champion spot in the group stage was vacated. To compensate:
The champion of association 13 (Scotland) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage.
The champion of association 16 (Denmark) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
The champions of associations 48 and 49 (Faroe Islands and Luxembourg) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

[edit] Seeding
The draws for the qualifying rounds, the play-off round and the group stage are all seeded based on the 2010 UEFA club coefficients.[5] The coefficients are calculated on the basis of a combination of 20% of the value of the respective national association’s coefficient for the period from 2005–06 to 2009–10 inclusive and the clubs’ individual performances in the UEFA club competitions during the same period. Clubs are ordered by their coefficient and then divided into pots as required.[6] For all of the stages before the quarter-finals, teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.[3]
In the draws for the qualifying rounds and the play-off round, the teams are divided evenly into one seeded and one unseeded pot. The highest-ranked teams are put into the seeded pot and the lowest-ranked teams are put into the unseeded pot. A seeded team will be drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie also being decided randomly. Due to the limited time between matches, the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds take place before the results of the previous round are known. The seeding in each draw is carried out under the assumption that all of the highest-ranked clubs of the previous round are victorious. If a lower-ranked club is victorious, it simply takes the place of its defeated opponent in the next round. Moreover, in the third qualifying round and play-off round, champion clubs and non-champion clubs are kept separated.
In the draw for the group stage, the 32 teams are split into 4 pots of 8 teams. The title holder and the 7 highest-ranked teams are put in Pot 1, the next 8 highest-ranked teams are put in Pot 2, the next 8 teams are put in Pot 3, and the next 8 in Pot 4. The teams are then drawn into 8 groups (labelled A-H) of 4 teams. The draw is controlled in order to split teams of the same national association evenly between Groups A-D and Groups E-H, which play on different matchdays.
In the draw for the first knockout stage, the 8 group winners are seeded, and the 8 group runners-up are unseeded. A seeded team will be drawn against an unseeded team, with the seeded team hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association may be drawn with each other.
