Without having won a tie, Union won two matches against European opponents. The first came in 1970-71, against Turkish side Göztepe in the Cup Winners' Cup. Göztepe had won the first leg 5-0, but Union managed a 1-0 victory in the home leg (this was very limited revenge, as Göztepe had knocked Union out the previous year, too). Their second victory was over Bodø/Glimt of Norway, by one goal to nil, having losing the first leg 4-1. Union also managed draws against Botev Plovdiv and Djurgårdens IF in 1984-85 and 1989-90 respectively.
