MANCHESTER, May 13 (Reuters) - Germany and Denmark were handed extra UEFA Cup places next season following a Fair Play draw by UEFA on Tuesday.

Seven associations -- Norway, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Germany and France -- went into the hat for two first qualifying round places.

The draw was made at the City of Manchester stadium, the venue for Wednesday's UEFA Cup final between Zenit St Petersburg and Rangers.

England topped Europe's Fair Play rankings, with the highest-placed team in the Premier League's own fair play chart who had not secured European football next season taking a first qualifying round place.
