1971 Anglo-Italian Cup


The 1971 Anglo-Italian Cup was the second staging of the annual association football tournament. It featured twelve teams — six from England and six from Italy.
The competition started on 26 May 1971 and concluded on 12 June 1971 with Blackpool beating Bologna 2-1 in the final.

Details

The twelve teams were divided into three groups of four teams — two from England and two from Italy. Each team plays the two foreign teams twice, home and away. The teams are then ranked against teams in their own country in a league, and the top-ranked teams from each country play off in a final for the trophy.
