Having finished 6th the previous season with a tally of 58 points, La Viola earned qualification into the first round of the 2007-08 UEFA Cup.

The 2007-08 season was a very successful one for the Viola. They reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup where they were beaten on penalties by Glasgow Rangers and finished fourth in Serie A ahead of A.C. Milan, thus qualifying for the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League.
