UEFA Intertoto Cup
The UEFA Intertoto Cup was a summer football cup competition held between European clubs. Originally, it was called the International Football Cup and later the Intertoto Cup. Early editions had only one winner, but from 1967 onward, the competition would have multiple group winners. From 1995 until its abolishment in 2008, the competition was organized by UEFA and functioned as qualifier for the UEFA Cup.
