1979 Intercontinental Cup


The 1979 Intercontinental Cup was an association football final played on a two-legged system. It was the last time in the history of the tournament that this format was used before Toyota became the main sponsor in 1980 and a single-game final was held each year in Japan. The final was played between Olimpia Asunción of Paraguay and Malmö FF of Sweden, with Olimpia emerging as the champion after an aggregate score of 3-1. Malmö FF took its place as the runners-up of the European competition since the European champions Nottingham Forest declined to play the final.
