Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Trophy Play-Off

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trophy in Barcelona

The last Inter-Cities Fairs Cup edition was contested in the 1970–71 season before it was abolished and replaced by the UEFA Cup, a new seasonal confederation competition.[1] The Fairs Cup trophy had not been won by any club permanently, so it was arranged a one match play-off game between the first and last competition winners: CF Barcelona and Leeds United, respectively.[1] The game took place on 22 September 1971 at the Camp Nou.
