A total of 64 teams from 30UEFA member associations participated in the 1988–89 UEFA Cup, all entering from the first round over six knock-out rounds. The association ranking based on theUEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

The match was briefly interrupted for an intervention by thefire brigade due to Partizan fans starting a large fire at the stadium's east stand by burning thehigh jump sponge mat. Furthermore, Roma captainGiuseppe Giannini got hit in the head with a coin thrown from the stands as Partizan fans pelted the pitch with missiles following one of the Roma goals. In addition to theSFr200,000 monetary fine, UEFA punished Partizan with a one-match stadium ban, enforced for their1989–90 Cup Winners' Cupfirst round tie versusCeltic.[3]
