This article lists the official records and statistics of the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Cup.[1]
General performances
By club
By country
The UEFA Cup replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in the 1971–72 season, so the Fairs Cup is not considered a UEFA competition, and hence clubs' records in the Fairs Cup are not considered part of their European record.[2]
The following table lists countries by number of winners and runner-up in the UEFA Cup and Europa League. Italy is leading the field with nine titles, followed by Germany, England and Spain with six titles each; 27 of 40 editions were won by teams from these four countries. Teams from a total of 11 countries have won the competition.
The 1980 UEFA Cup saw four Bundesliga teams (i.e., Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and VfB Stuttgart) make up all of the semi-finals competitors — a unique record for one country. Frankfurt beat Mönchengladbach in the final.

Undefeated champions
- As of yet, Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Mönchengladbach, IFK Göteborg (twice), Ajax, Galatasaray and Feyenoord are the only teams in UEFA Cup history to win the tournament undefeated.
Miscellaneous records
- Only four clubs have won the treble of their national league championship, domestic cup competition and the UEFA Cup all in same season. They are:
- IFK Göteborg (1982)
- Galatasaray (2000)
- FC Porto (2003, 2011)
- CSKA Moscow (2005)
- 12 clubs have won their national league championship and the UEFA Cup in the same season. They are:
- Liverpool (1973, 1976)
- IFK Göteborg (1982, 1987)
- Feyenoord (1974)
- Borussia Mönchengladbach (1975)
- Juventus (1977)
- PSV (1978)
- Real Madrid (1986)
- Galatasaray (2000)
- FC Porto (2003, 2011)
- Valencia (2004)
- CSKA Moscow (2005)
- Zenit Saint Petersburg (2008)
- Until 1997, the UEFA Cup was the only European club competition which routinely allocated multiple entrants to many countries. This has led to several finals featuring two clubs from the same country:
| Season | Country | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1971–72 | England | Tottenham Hotspur | v | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| 1979–80 | West Germany | Eintracht Frankfurt | v | Borussia Mönchengladbach |
| 1989–90 | Italy | Juventus | v | Fiorentina |
| 1990–91 | Italy | Internazionale | v | Roma |
| 1994–95 | Italy | Parma | v | Juventus |
| 1997–98 | Italy | Internazionale | v | Lazio |
| 2006–07 | Spain | Espanyol | v | Sevilla |
| 2010–11 | Portugal | Porto | v | Braga |
- During the 1979–80 season, West Germany had five entrants including cup holders Borussia Mönchengladbach. All five managed to reach the quarter-final stage and both semi-finals ended up being all West German affairs. Ultimately, Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach in the final. No West German club that season was eliminated by a non-German club.
- Two clubs have managed to win consecutive UEFA Cups: Real Madrid in 1985 and 1986, and Sevilla in 2006 and 2007.
- The only country to keep win for three consecutive seasons is Italy, and they did so on two occasions: between 1988–89 and 1990–91 (Napoli, Juventus, and Internazionale the winners) and between 1992–93 and 1994–95 (Juventus, Internazionale, and Parma).
- The record number of consecutive participations in the UEFA Cup/Europa League is 14; all teams to play at least six consecutive seasons (including eliminations in the qualifying rounds of the tournament proper):
| Entries | Club | Seasons |
|---|---|---|
| 14 | Club Brugge | 1996/97-2009/10 |
| 9 | PAOK | 1997/98-2005/06 |
| 8 | Celtic | 1996/97-2003/04 |
| 8 | Red Star Belgrade | 1998/99-2005/06 |
| 8 | CSKA Sofia | 1998/99-2005/06 |
| 8 | Grazer | 1998/99-2005/06 |
| 8 | Shakhtar Donetsk | 1998/99-2005/06 |
| 8 | Slavia Prague | 1998/99-2005/06 |
| 7 | PSV | 1979/80-1985/86 |
| 7 | Spartak Moscow | 1981/82-1987/88 |
| 7 | Sporting CP | 1988/89-1994/95 |
| 7 | Parma | 1998/99-2004/05 |
| 7 | Brøndby | 1999/00-2005/06 |
| 7 | Vaduz | 1999/00-2005/06 |
| 6 | Köln | 1971/72-1976/77 |
| 6 | Grasshopper | 1972/73-1977/78 |
| 6 | Dundee United | 1977/78-1982/83 |
| 6 | Werder Bremen | 1982/83-1987/88 |
| 6 | Internazionale | 1983/84-1988/89 |
| 6 | Rangers | 1997/98-2002/03 |
| 6 | Ventspils | 2000/01-2005/06 |
| 6 | Wisła Kraków | 2000/01-2005/06 |
- Entering both the Champions League and/or its qualifying rounds and the UEFA Cup in the same season has now become so common that a separate statistic of all clubs having done so in three or more consecutive seasons may be of interest (between square brackets the means of entering the UEFA Cup is indicated in chronological order, G denoting group stage, q denoting qualifying round):
| Entries | Club | Seasons | Stages |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Shakhtar Donetsk | 2000/01-2005/06 | GqqqGq |
| 3 | Rangers | 1999/00-2001/02 | GGq |
| 3 | Celtic | 2000/01-2003/04 | GqG |
| 3 | Grazer | 2002/03-2004/05 | qqq |
| 3 | Club Brugge | 2002/03-2004/05 | qGq |
| 3 | Wisła Kraków | 2003/04-2005/06 | qqq |
- Several times, winning the UEFA Cup was a club's only chance to qualify for European competition in the next season. A win by such a mid-table (and non-domestic-cup-winning) club then led to an extra place in the UEFA Cup for the country in question. The following clubs managed to save their season by winning the UEFA Cup:
| Season | Club | Country | Domestic position |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1971/72 | Tottenham Hotspur | England | 6th |
| 1978/79 | Borussia Mönchengladbach | West Germany | 10th |
| 1979/80 | Eintracht Frankfurt | West Germany | 9th |
| 1983/84 | Tottenham Hotspur | England | 8th |
| 1987/88 | Bayer Leverkusen | West Germany | 8th |
| 1993/1994 | Internazionale | Italy | 13th |
| 1996/97 | Schalke | Germany | 12th |
- Espanyol (in 2006–07) has been the only team who didn't lose any match but didn't win the UEFA Cup in a season (only lost to Sevilla on penalties in the final).
