The 1983 UEFA Cup Final was played on 4 May 1983 and 18 May 1983 between Anderlecht of Belgium and Benfica of Portugal. Anderlecht won 2–1 on aggregate.{{Cite web |date=12 August 2023 |title=Anderlecht 1–0 Benfica |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/67316--anderlecht-vs-benfica/ |website=UEFA |language=}}{{Cite web |date=23 January 2025 |title=SL Benfica 1:1 RSC Anderlecht |url=https://www.voetbal.com/wedstrijdverslag/europa-league-1982-1983-finale-sl-benfica-rsc-anderlecht/ |website=voetbal.com |language=nl}}

Because of the construction of their new stadium, Anderlecht played their home games in the Heysel stadium in 1983, which included the first leg of the UEFA Cup final.{{cite web |date=18 May 2020 |title=Triomf van een uitzonderlijke ploeg |url=https://www.rsca.be/nl/news/triomf-van-een-uitzonderlijke-ploeg |access-date= |work=rsca.b |language=nl}} After half an hour, Frank Vercauteren was able to provide a cross, which Kenneth Brylle headed in. Anderlecht travelled to Lisbon with the smallest lead.{{cite web |date=10 November 2016 |title=1983 UEFA Cup final highlights: Anderlecht 2-1 Benfica |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/history/video/0233-0e67b08297f1-dc55e6c6bf0d-1000--1983-uefa-cup-final-highlights-anderlecht-2-1-benfica/ |access-date= |work=UEFA |language=}}

Benfica started the return match with a series of chances. This resulted in a goal by Shéu in the 32nd minute. Only 6 minutes later, the technically skilled Juan Lozano restored the balance on a pass from Franky Vercauteren. In front of 80,000 spectators, Anderlecht was able to hold out, winning its fifth and so far last European title.{{cite web |date=17 September 2013 |title=Retro: Anderlecht wint UEFA Cup tegen Benfica |url=https://sporza.be/nl/2013/09/17/retro_-anderlecht-wint-uefa-cup-tegen-benfica-1-1731483/ |access-date= |work=Sporza |language=nl}}
