1989–90 UEFA Cup

Association team allocation

A total of 65 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participated in the 1988–89 UEFA Cup. 63 teams entered from the first round, competing over six knock-out rounds, while two other teams competed in a preliminary round.

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 first berth was allocated to association 9, gaining a third berth. As two associations were tied for 10th place in the UEFA rankings, both of them qualified a third team for a preliminary round, whose winner would take the remaining English berth in the first round.

Association ranking

For the 1989–90 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1988 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1983–84 to 1987–88.
