1993–94 UEFA Champions League preliminary round

The 1993–94 UEFA Champions League preliminary round was the qualifying round for the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League, and featured 20 teams. It began on 18 August with the first legs and ended on 1 September 1993 with the second legs. The ten winners advanced to the first round, joining 22 other teams.

Times are CEST (UTC+2), as listed by UEFA.

Format

Each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule would be again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out.

Draw

The draw for the preliminary round was held on 14 July 1993 in Geneva, Switzerland.^[1]
