The final was held at Wembley Stadium in London, England on 12 May 1993. It was the final match of the 1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup and the 33rd European Cup Winners' Cup final. Parma beat Antwerp 3–1 and in doing so became the eighth different Italian team to win a European trophy. Upon the abolition of the competition in 1999, this was the last final where the winners won by more than a goal. The victory marked Parma’s first European trophy in only their second season of European competition. They were the first Italian team to appear in the Cup Winners' Cup final since Sampdoria, who had appeared in 1989 and 1990. Antwerp, meanwhile, made their first-ever appearance in a European final. The most recent Belgian finalist before 1993 had been Anderlecht in 1990, who lost 2–0 to Sampdoria after extra time. As the winners, Parma contested the 1993 European Super Cup against 1992–93 UEFA Champions League runners-up Milan, after champions Marseille had been banned from European competition over match-fixing allegations. This was the last European club tournament final staged at the old Wembley, as it was going to be rebuilt to an all-new stadium. Background The 1993 final marked the first meeting between Parma and Antwerp. Both teams were seeking their first piece of European silverware, and it was Parma’s first encounter with Belgian opposition. Additionally, neither manager had previously guided a team to a European final. Wembley Stadium in London had hosted the European Cup Winners' Cup final on one previous occasion: in 1965. Londoners West Ham United won the game by two goals to nil against West German opposition 1860 Munich in front of 97,974 people, the biggest ever attendance at a Cup Winners' Cup final.
