Cause

The breakup of Yugoslavia and associated international sanctions stemming from the ongoing Yugoslav Wars led UEFA to ban all Yugoslav clubs from the competition. Meanwhile, clubs from newly independent Slovenia participated for the first time, with Olimpija Ljubljana representing the country.

Event

The 1992–93 UEFA Cup, the 22nd edition of the tournament, saw Juventus face Borussia Dortmund in a two-legged final held at Westfalenstadion in Dortmund and Stadio Delle Alpi in Turin. Juventus won 6–1 on aggregate, claiming their third UEFA Cup title.

Consequence

Juventus became the first club to win the UEFA Cup three times and set a record aggregate score for a two-legged UEFA Cup final. Slovenia's debut in the competition also marked the expanding post-Yugoslav membership in European football.
