1992–93 UEFA Cup
The 1992–93 UEFA Cup was the 22nd season of Europe's then-tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA. The final was played over two legs at Westfalenstadion, Dortmund, Germany, and at Stadio Delle Alpi, Turin, Italy. The competition was won by Italian club Juventus, who beat Borussia Dortmund of Germany by an aggregate result of 6–1, to claim their third UEFA Cup title.
Juventus became the first club to win the UEFA Cup three times, and registered a record score for a two-legged UEFA Cup final. Due to the breakup of Yugoslavia and the international sanctions for the ongoing Yugoslav Wars, UEFA banned all Yugoslavian teams from competing. Slovenia, a former Yugoslav republic, was represented for the first time in the UEFA Cup, although Olimpija Ljubljana competed in its unofficial predecessor Inter-Cities Fairs' Cup in the late 1960s.
Association team allocation
A total of 64 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participated in the 1992–93 UEFA Cup, all entering from the first round over six knock-out rounds. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was originally used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:- Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
- Associations 4–8 each have three teams qualify.
- Associations 9–21 each have two teams qualify.
- Associations 22–32 each have one team qualify.
