The1995–96UEFA Cup was the 25th season of Europe's then-tertiary clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA. It waswon by German clubBayern Munich on aggregate overBordeaux of France. Girondins de Bordeaux went to the final all the way from the1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup, its first season, being the only Intertoto Cup entrant to reach this far of the UEFA Cup. With this victory, Bayern became the third club to havewon all three major European trophies at the time (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and theCup Winners' Cup). The finals itself was the only UEFA Cup final during the 1990s to not feature any Italian sides.
The 1995–96 season also saw the return ofYugoslav clubs on the international scene after three years of ban due toUN embargo. However, Yugoslav national champion,Red Star Belgrade, was eliminated as early as in the qualifying round.[1]
According to 1994 UEFA ranking, the Netherlands and Hungary lost a slot, while Israel gained one. Under a UEFA special decision, Czech Republic and Slovakia were still considered as a single country.
