21st season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1991–92 UEFA Cup was the 21st season of Europe's then-tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA. The final was played over two legs at Stadio Delle Alpi, Turin, Italy, and at Olympisch Stadion, Amsterdam, Netherlands. The competition was won by Dutch club Ajax, who defeated Torino of Italy on away goals after an aggregate result of 2–2 to claim their first UEFA Cup title.

The victory made Ajax only the second team—after Torino's city rivals Juventus—to have won all three major European trophies at the time (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup). As the only English team in the tournament due to lost coeffecient following the five-year ban for the Heysel disaster during the 1985 European Cup final, and being given an additional year of exclusion, Liverpool made their comeback in continental competition for the first time since then.
Association team allocation
A total of 64 teams from 32 UEFA member associations participated in the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, all entering from the first round over six knock-out rounds. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is 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.
Association ranking
For the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1990 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1985–86 to 1989–90. Despite returning to European competitions the previous season, England's five-year ban was served during the period reflected in the ranking and had no score, so only one English club competed in the UEFA Cup.

Notes
- ^ Italy: Milan finished second in the 1990–91 Serie A, but in March 1991, UEFA imposed them a one-year ban from European competition, due to refusing to resume their 1990–91 European Cup quarterfinal match away versus Olympique Marseille after a floodlight failure. Parma, the next best team not already qualified for European competition, took its place in the UEFA Cup.
- ^ Germany: Dynamo Dresden finished second in the 1990–91 NOFV-Oberliga, but the team was imposed a two-year ban from European competition by UEFA, due to fan rioting during their 1990–91 European Cup quarterfinal match home versus Red Star Belgrade. Hallescher FC, the next best team not already qualified for European competition, took its place in the UEFA Cup. Due to the reunification of Germany in October 1990, all flags show Germany instead of West/East Germany. However, all matches and records from both Rot-Weiß Erfurt and Hallescher were still counted for East Germany, and not for Germany, under UEFA regulations.
- ^ Greece: Olympiacos finished second in the 1990–91 Alpha Ethniki, but UEFA imposed them a one-year ban from European competition, due to crowd incidents during their 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup second round home match versus Sampdoria after the match concluded. PAOK, the next best team not already qualified for European competition, took its place in the UEFA Cup.
