Notes

  1. † French club and Champions League title holders Marseille were disqualified from the competition by the UEFA Executive Committee on 6 September 1993 due to their involvement in a match-fixing scandal.[2][3] Monaco took the vacated French berth on 8 September.[4]
  2. PR Winners from the preliminary round

Format

Each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule would be again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out.

Seeding

The draw for the first round was held on 14 July 1993 in Geneva, Switzerland.[5] The 32 teams were divided into a seeded and unseeded pot, each containing 16 teams, for the draw.[1][6]

Seeded Unseeded

Notes

  1. † French club and Champions League title holders Marseille originally took part in the draw, but were later banned and replaced by Monaco. Thus Monaco effectively took the automatic top seed reserved for the title holders in the draw.
  2. ‡ Winners of the preliminary round, whose identity was not known at the time of draw.

Summary

The first legs were played on 15 and 16 September, and the second legs on 28 and 29 September 1993.

  2. ^ Due to security issues caused by Operation Medak Pocket, Croatian teams were required to play their home matches at neutral venues indefinitely. Therefore, Croatia Zagreb played their first round home match at Bežigrad Stadium, Ljubljana, Slovenia, instead of their regular stadium, Stadion Maksimir, Zagreb.[14]
