The final was played over two legs at the Red Star Stadium, Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and at the Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf, West Germany. It was won by Borussia Mönchengladbach of West Germany, who defeated Red Star Belgrade of Yugoslavia by an aggregate result of 2–1 to claim their second UEFA Cup title. Red Star Belgrade became the third Yugoslav and second Serbian team to reach a European final, but couldn't defeat the more experienced West German side, who reached their fourth European final out of five in a seven-year span. Association team allocation A total of 64 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participate in the 1978–79 UEFA Cup. The original allocation scheme was as follows: 3 associations have four teams qualify. 3 associations have three teams qualify. 18 associations have two teams qualify. 7 associations have one team qualify. East Germany and Bulgaria were the two associations selected to have a third birth for this season, while Poland and Switzerland went back to two qualified teams. +Associations in the 1978–79 UEFA CupFour teamsFRG West GermanyENG EnglandITA ItalyThree teamsESP 1977 SpainEast Germany East GermanyBUL 1971 BulgariaTwo teamsNED NetherlandsSoviet Union Soviet UnionBEL BelgiumYugoslavia YugoslaviaHUN HungaryPOR PortugalCzechoslovakia CzechoslovakiaPOL PolandFRA 1974 FranceSCO ScotlandGRE old GreeceSUI SwitzerlandSWE SwedenROU 1965 RomaniaAUT AustriaTUR TurkeyDEN DenmarkNOR NorwayOne teamIRL Republic of IrelandNIR Northern IrelandFIN FinlandCYP 1960 CyprusMLT MaltaISL IcelandLUX LuxembourgDid not competeWAL WalesNote WALALB 1946 AlbaniaNote ALB Note WAL Wales: There was no national league in Wales before 1992 and the only competition organised by the Football Association of Wales was the Welsh Cup so Wales had just a single participant in European competitions, the winner (or best placed Welsh team as several English teams also competed) of the Welsh Cup which competed in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Note ALB Albania: Albanian teams returned to European competition in 1978 after five years of absence, but the country choose to not participate in the UEFA Cup, which wouldn't happen until 1981. Luftëtari would have qualified for the UEFA Cup by league position.
