The1997–98UEFA Cup was won byInternazionale in an all-Italian final againstLazio. It was their third title in eight years in the competition.
It was the first instance of the UEFA Cup final being a one-game contest at a neutral stadium, having previously being decided over two legs with each team having one home game. This was the first tournament where the 2nd placed team of major European leagues went to the Champions League instead of the UEFA Cup.
For first time, one nation (France) was represented by seven teams:Strasbourg,Auxerre,Bastia,Nantes,Lyon,Bordeaux andMetz.
According to 1996 UEFA ranking, Spain took a slot to Germany (but this one took the place of the holders), the Netherlands took a place from Russia, while Ukraine, Czech Republic, and Hungary took a slot from Israel, FR Yugoslavia and Poland (but this one took the place of troubled Albania).
The access list was finally decreased to 102 clubs, because only the 16 best national champions excluded from the Champions League group stage entered in the UEFA Cup.
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
