EVERTON FC: UEFA CUP TAKES SHAPE

/noticias.info/ Ajax and AC Milan are among the most glamorous names in next season's Uefa Cup.

Both sides are former European champions but missed out on Champions League qualification last term.

They are among the list of sides who have qualified for the first round of the Uefa Cup - along with Everton.

Other big names set for the two-legged encounters include Sevilla, Valencia, Spurs, Hamburg and Paris Saint Germain.

Metalist Kharkiv - who Everton played at the same stage last season - are also in the competition.

The likes of Manchester City, Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund are in the earlier qualifying rounds of the tournament.

Intertoto Cup qualifiers Deportivo La Coruna, Napoli and Stuttgart could also make their way through to the first round of the Uefa Cup.

Everton are unlikely to face Europe's biggest names when the draw is made on August 29, though, with a seeding system likely to be in operation.

But should the Blues progress from their first tie, there is the prospect of some tantalising matches in the five-team group stage. notas_de_prensa_archivo
