It was the 31st UEFA Cup Final and was held in the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, which is the home ground of Feyenoord. This was the first time since the introduction of single–match finals in the UEFA Cup in 1998, that the final had been played at a finalists home ground. Previous to this match, Feyenoord had not won a European trophy since 1974, when they beat Tottenham Hotspur to win the UEFA Cup.

Feyenoord's victory marked the first European triumph for a Dutch club in seven years, after Ajax won the Champions League in 1995.
