The 1982 UEFA Cup Final was played on 5 May 1982 and 19 May 1982 between IFK Göteborg of Sweden and Hamburg of West Germany. IFK won 4–0 on aggregate to win the first major European honour in the club's history.

With this defeat, Hamburg became the first club to have been runner-up in all three major pre-1999 European competitions (European Champion Clubs' Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup), having lost the 1968 European Cup Winners' Cup Final and the 1980 European Cup Final.^[1]
