The 1991âÂÂ92 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 2âÂÂ2 to claim their first UEFA Cup title.
The victory made Ajax only the second teamâÂÂafter Torino's city rivals JuventusâÂÂto 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.
A total of 64 teams from 32 UEFA member associations participated in the 1991âÂÂ92 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:
For the 1991âÂÂ92 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1990 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1985âÂÂ86 to 1989âÂÂ90. 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.
