The 2012β13 UEFA Europa League was the 42nd season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 4th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The final was played at the Amsterdam Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands. [1] It was contested on 15 May 2013 between Portuguese club Benfica and English club Chelsea, who entered the competition at the Round of 32 after they finished in third place in the group stage of the 2012β13 Champions League. Chelsea won the final 2β1 for their first Europa League title, making them the fourth club β after Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich β and the first English club to have won all three major European trophies ( UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup). [2]
For the 2012β13 edition, the following changes were made from the 2011β12 edition:
AtlΓ©tico Madrid were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Rubin Kazan in the Round of 32.
A total of 193 teams from 53 UEFA member associations participate in the 2012β13 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: [6]
The winners of the 2011β12 UEFA Europa League are given an additional entry as title holders if they do not qualify for the 2012β13 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry is not necessary for this season since the title holders qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance.
For the 2012β13 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2011 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2006β07 to 2010β11. [7] [8]

Matches in the qualifying, play-off, and knockout rounds may also be played on Tuesdays or Wednesdays instead of the regular Thursdays due to scheduling conflicts.
In the qualifying rounds and the play-off round, teams were divided into seeded and unseeded teams based on their 2012 UEFA club coefficients, [27] [28] [29] and then drawn into two-legged home-and-away ties. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
The draws for the first and second qualifying rounds were held on 25 June 2012. [30] The first legs were played on 3 and 5 July, and the second legs were played on 10 and 12 July 2012.
The first legs were played on 19 July, and the second legs were played on 26 July 2012.

[35] The 48 teams were allocated into four pots based on their 2012 UEFA club coefficients, [27] [28] [29] with the title holders, AtlΓ©tico Madrid, being placed in Pot 1 automatically. They were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays were 20 September, 4 October, 25 October, 8 November, 22 November, and 6 December 2012. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 32, where they were joined by the eight third-placed teams from the 2012β13 UEFA Champions League group stage.
A total of 25 national associations were represented in the group stage. [36] This was the first time a team from Azerbaijan qualified for the group stage of a UEFA competition.

The 2012β13 UEFA Europa League was the 42nd season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 4th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The final was played at the Amsterdam Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands. [1] It was contested on 15 May 2013 between Portuguese club Benfica and English club Chelsea, who entered the competition at the Round of 32 after they finished in third place in the group stage of the 2012β13 Champions League. Chelsea won the final 2β1 for their first Europa League title, making them the fourth club β after Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich β and the first English club to have won all three major European trophies ( UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup). [2]
For the 2012β13 edition, the following changes were made from the 2011β12 edition:
AtlΓ©tico Madrid were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Rubin Kazan in the Round of 32.
A total of 193 teams from 53 UEFA member associations participate in the 2012β13 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: [6]
The winners of the 2011β12 UEFA Europa League are given an additional entry as title holders if they do not qualify for the 2012β13 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry is not necessary for this season since the title holders qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance.
For the 2012β13 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2011 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2006β07 to 2010β11. [7] [8]

The draw for the group stage was held in Monaco on 31 August 2012. [35] The 48 teams were allocated into four pots based on their 2012 UEFA club coefficients, [27] [28] [29] with the title holders, AtlΓ©tico Madrid, being placed in Pot 1 automatically. They were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays were 20 September, 4 October, 25 October, 8 November, 22 November, and 6 December 2012. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 32, where they were joined by the eight third-placed teams from the 2012β13 UEFA Champions League group stage.
A total of 25 national associations were represented in the group stage. [36] This was the first time a team from Azerbaijan qualified for the group stage of a UEFA competition. AEL, Anzhi, Kiryat Shmona, Levante, MarΓtimo, NeftΓ§i and Videoton all appeared in the group stage of a UEFA competition for the first time.
