UEFA Europa Conference League: A New Era in European Football
The UEFA Europa Conference League is an annual football competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) for eligible European football clubs. It is the third tier of continental club football, below the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.
A Fresh Start
The UEFA Europa Conference League was introduced for the 2021-22 season, replacing the UEFA Europa League's third qualifying round and the UEFA Europa League's group stage. This move aimed to provide more opportunities for smaller clubs to participate in European competitions and reduce the burden on the UEFA Champions League.
The Path to Glory
The UEFA Europa Conference League features a group stage, followed by a knockout phase. Teams are divided into three groups of four teams each, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout phase. The final is held annually, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Latest Developments
Olympiacos made history by becoming the first Greek side to win a European trophy, defeating Fiorentina 1-0 in extra time of the 2023-24 UEFA Conference League final. This milestone marks a significant achievement for the Greek club.
Season Highlights
The 2021-22 UEFA Europa Conference League saw Roma defeat Feyenoord 1-0 in the final. The 2023-24 season saw Fiorentina advance to the final, where they lost to Olympiacos. The competition has provided opportunities for underdog teams to shine, with Club Brugge and Fiorentina advancing to the semi-finals.
