Teams

In total, 32 teams participated in the first round: 22 teams which entered in this round, and 10 winners of the preliminary round.

Format

Each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule would be again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out.

Draw

The draw for the first round was held on 14 July 1993 in Geneva, Switzerland.[1]

Summary

The first legs were played on 15 and 16 September, and the second legs on 28 and 29 September 1993.
