Turkey climbed from eleventh to seventh place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2000–01 season, that means the league has gained additional two spots for the UEFA Cup and for the first time, the champions will now enter the group stage of the UEFA Champions League instead of having to compete in the qualifying rounds.
After beating cup winners Kocaelispor 4–0 at home last week, Denizlispor qualified for the first time to the UEFA Cup in their history.
