1997–98 UEFA Cup

The 1997–98 UEFA Cup was won by Internazionale in an all-Italian final against Lazio. It was their third title in eight years in the competition.

1997–98 UEFA Cup

The final was played at Parc des Princes in Paris
Dates	22 July 1997 – 6 May 1998
Final positions
Champions	Internazionale (3rd title)
Runners-up	Lazio
Tournament statistics
Matches played	125
Goals scored	332 (2.66 per match)
Top scorer(s)	Stéphane Guivarc'h (Auxerre) 7 goals
← 1996–97 1998–99 →

It was the first instance of the UEFA Cup final being a one-game contest at a neutral stadium, having previously being decided over two legs with each team having one home game. This was the first tournament where the 2nd placed team of major European leagues went to the Champions League instead of the UEFA Cup.

For first time, one nation (France) was represented by seven teams: Strasbourg, Auxerre, Bastia, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux and Metz.

Format

According to 1996 UEFA ranking, Spain took a slot to Germany (but this one took the place of the holders), the Netherlands took a place from Russia, while Ukraine, Czech Republic, and Hungary took a slot from Israel, FR Yugoslavia and Poland (but this one took the place of troubled Albania).

The access list was finally decreased to 102 clubs, because only the 16 best national champions excluded from the Champions League group stage entered in the UEFA Cup.

Teams

The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:

• TH: Title holders
• LC: League Cup winners
• Nth: League position
• IC: Intertoto Cup winners
• FP: Fair play
• CL Q2: Losers from the Champions League second qualifying round

Notes

1. ^
   Albania (ALB): Clubs from Albania were not admitted to UEFA competitions as 1996–97 Albanian Superliga was suspended for several months due to the 1997 Albanian civil unrest and eventually ended in mid-August 1997, past the UEFA deadline.^[1]
