1966–67

The 1965–66 Intertoto Cup was won by 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, who had lost the previous season's final (under their previous name of SC Leipzig). They defeated IFK Norrköping. After experimenting with twelve groups totalling 48 clubs for two years (although latterly only 44 clubs were recruited to fill eleven groups), the competition returned to its original format with 32 clubs divided into eight groups. As a result, the clubs went straight to the quarter-finals after the group stage, while in previous seasons a first round had also been required.

Group stage

The teams were divided into eight groups of four clubs each. Clubs from the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and West Germany were placed in 'A' groups; while clubs from Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland and Yugoslavia were placed in 'B' groups. The eight group winners advanced to the knock-out rounds.
