The **1987–88 UEFA Cup** was won by Bayer Leverkusen on penalty kicks over Español.

It was the third season of English clubs being barred from this and indeed all European competitions as the sequel of the Heysel disaster of May 1985. The English clubs who missed out on this season of the UEFA Cup were Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Soviet Union gained a fourth place, Austria and Romania a third one, while France, East Germany and Czechoslovakia remained with two places.
Following UEFA ranking changes and the English ban, Italy gained a fourth place from Spain, and East Germany a third one from the Netherlands.

## Slot Allocation

For the 1987–88 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1986 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1981–82 to 1985–86.

- **^** **England:** English teams were banned by UEFA from its competitions from the season 1985–86 on until the season 1990–91 because of the Heysel Disaster in 1985, involving Liverpool fans.

- **^** **England Slots:** As England banned from european club competitions, their 3 slots in UEFA Cup, assigned to the next best ranked associations in UEFA coefficient ranking.

- **^** **Wales:** There was no national league in Wales before 1992 and the only competition organised by the Football Association of Wales was the Welsh Cup so Wales had just a single participant in European competitions, the winner (or best placed Welsh team as several English teams also competed) of the Welsh Cup which competed in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
