1986–87 UEFA Cup

Association team allocation

A total of 64 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participated in the 1986–87 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.

Due to the ongoing English ban, their four berths were allocated to associations 9–12, each gaining a third berth.

Association ranking
