Third qualifying round
[edit]The draw for the third qualifying round took place on 1 August 2008 in Nyon, Switzerland.[1]
Seeding
[edit]In the draw for the third qualifying round, teams were divided into two pots, on the basis of UEFA coefficients. The higher pot contained teams ranked 61 or higher. However, the draw was held before the second qualifying round was played, which meant that Kaunas and BATE Borisov effectively moved into the higher pot, replacing the teams they eliminated.
