[edit] UEFA Cup
The draw for the UEFA cup saw AS Nancy handed a tough trip to Germany to face Schalke 04 in the first round. Having lost the first leg 1-0, Nancy pulled off a shock 3-1 victory in the second leg to progress.
In the group stage, Nancy drew Wisła Kraków, Blackburn Rovers, FC Basel 1893, and Feyenoord Rotterdam. In Nancy's first match, they beat Wisła 2-1 at home. Next up were Basel away in Switzerland, where Nancy managed a 2-2 draw. A comfortable 3-0 win over Feyenoord set up a match that would decide who topped the group in England against Blackburn. Although Nancy dominated most of the match, a late Lucas Neill goal meant that they would have to settle for second place. In the Round of 32, the club drew Ukranian side Shakhtar Donetsk. After a 1-1 draw in Ukraine, their prospect looked good, but they were defeated 1-0 at home in the second leg, losing the lie 2-1 on aggregate.
