Edgar Schmitt (Karlsruhe) 8 goals each

The 1993–94 UEFA Cup was the 23rd season of Europe's then-tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA. The final was played over two legs at the Ernst-Happel Stadion, Vienna, Austria, and at San Siro, Milan, Italy. The competition was won by Italian club Inter Milan, who beat Austria Salzburg of Austria by an aggregate result of 2–0, to claim their second UEFA Cup title in a span of four years.

This would be the final edition of the UEFA Cup with the classic 64-team format that had been in use since 1968, inherited from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup., before the competition was expanded to accommodate both the new European countries and changes in the UEFA Champions League format. This was the only UEFA Cup or UEFA Europa League edition where an Austrian side reached the final, the third overall for an Austrian team in European competition and the first since Rapid Wien in the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup.

Inter Milan's title was previously the lowest finish for a European Cup winning team in their league season as Inter finished 13th in the 1993-94 Serie A. This stood until 2025, when Tottenham Hotspur won the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League while finishing 17th in the 2024-25 Premier League

Association team allocation

A total of 64 teams from 30 UEFA member associations participated in the 1993–94 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 9–20 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 21–32 each have one team qualify.

Additionally, associations 9–12 gained a third berth due to Yugoslavia being banned under United Nations embargo and Albania withdrawing from the competition.

Ukraine now had its own allocation as an unranked association alongside Slovenia, after both of them were represented in the previous UEFA Cup. Both associations took over the places of East Germany, which had ceased to exist as a country in 1991 after the German reunification, and its results had been erased from the UEFA ranking. To rebalance the allocations, the association placed on the 21st spot was not originally slated to have a second berth like it had previously. However, Poland had its UEFA Cup allocation removed due to its football scandal, and its two places were reassigned to associations 21–22 as a second berth.

Association ranking

For the 1993–94 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1992 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1987–88 to 1991–92. Therefore, it did not include any of the new football federations that had joined UEFA in the previous years, including competing associations Ukraine and Slovenia. Having returned to European competitions in 1990 after a five-year ban, England's score was limited to the last two of the five seasons accounted for in the ranking.
