It was the 31st UEFA Cup Final and was held in the Feijenoord Stadion, which is the home ground of Feyenoord.

Previous to this match, Feyenoord had not won a European trophy since 1974, when they beat Tottenham Hotspur F.C. to win the UEFA Cup. Borussia Dortmund, who had already won the Fußball-Bundesliga title, were hoping to join AFC Ajax, FC Bayern Munich and Juventus F.C. in being the only clubs to win all three European trophies. Feyenoord's victory marked the first European triumph for a Dutch club in seven years, after Ajax won the UEFA Champions League in 1995. |
