AEK has
qualified for the Champions League for season 2003-04 after
finished third in the 2001-02 Greek League.
AEK is the ONLY Greek team that has qualified for the
quarter-finals for all European competitions. Which years? 1968
for the Champion's Cup; 1996 for the Cup-Winners Cup; 1976
for the UEFA cup.
The Champions League is structured to contain 32 teams in the league stage, and will be preceeded by three qualifying stages. The champions of all countries enter the Champions League, but high ranked countries can send up to 4 teams. Some teams of high ranked countries are directly qualified for the league stage, while others have to play qualifying rounds.
AEK had to participate in the Qualifying Round, because Greece was ranked at the 6th position in the 2002 UEFA's seeding system. After qualifying over Swiss Grasshoppers AEK qualified for the league stage.
AEK's UEFA coefficients and ranking since 1995 are displayed in the following table:
AEK's UEFA
coefficients:
| Year | 95/96 | 96/97 | 97/98 | 98/99 | 99/00 | 00/01 | 01/02 | 02/03 | 03/04 | Total Points (Ranking) |
| Points | 6.625 | 11.750 | 11.250 | 4.100 | 8.787 | 10.227 | 13.712 | 14.365 | 4.375 | 51.467 (33) |
The UEFA team coefficients are calculated as the sum of the number of points of each individual team, and 50% of the UEFA country coefficient in the last 5 years. The so-called UEFA coefficients are calculated by taking an average, based on the total number of points divided by the total number of teams of each country. For the calculation of team coefficients, games played in qualifying or preliminary rounds are not taken into account. During that period each team gets two points for a win and one point for a draw. From 1999 on these points are halved for qualification matches: one point for a win and halve a point for a draw. One bonus point is allocated for reaching the quarter final, the semi final and the final. Reaching the first round of the Champions League yields one bonus point. See the 2001 team ranking table for an example of such a ranking list.
