Football - Inter-City Fairs Cup
With the success of the European Cup in the mid-1950s, European governing body UEFA decided to institute second-tier competitions the Cup-Winners' Cup for domestic cup holders and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, contested by teams from the venues of the annual European trade fairs.
In the 1960s more teams were added before the birth of the UEFA Cup in 1971. UEFA have subsequently reuled that the Inter-City Fairs Cup should not be considered a major competition. The finals were all played over two legs, one each at the respective home grounds of the finalists, apart from in 1964 and 1965.
