UEFA Cup Winners' Cup

The UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was a European football competition held annually from 1961 to 1999. It featured the national cup winners from various European countries, providing a tournament for Europe's best domestic cup teams. The competition was organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and was considered prestigious among club tournaments. It was merged into the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) after 1999, ending its separate run. The tournament highlighted talented teams often overlooked in league play, and its winners included some of Europe's most historic clubs.
