Croatia was admitted to the UEFA at the end of the season. It obtained a place in the preliminary rounds of the two major European competitions, while it was too late for the third one.
Croatian clubs were not eligible to compete in European competitions this season, as the Croatian Football Federation did not join UEFA until June 16, 1993.
