Football tournament

The UEFA Europa Conference League is a seasonal football competition established in 2021.[1] It was created by UEFA to accommodate at least 34 of its national associations in the group stage of its competitions and is the third-tier of European football behind the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.[2] The winner automatically qualifies for the subsequent season's Europa League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League through their domestic league. The format features eight groups of four teams, with the winners of each group qualifying for the round of 16 and a playoff round held between the teams that finish second in their group and those that finish third in their Europa League groups to determine the remaining eight teams. Knockout matches are held over two legs with the final held at a neutral venue.[3]

Quick Facts Founded, Region ...

The competition was announced in 2018, and began in 2021. UEFA created the competition in order to offer European competition for more clubs and have more representation from associations that might not qualify for the group stages of the Champions League or Europa League.[4] This is determined via the UEFA country coefficients with three teams participating from nations ranked 16 to 50, two teams participating from nations ranked 6 to 15 and 51 to 55, and one team participating from nations ranked 1 to 5.[5]

Roma won the inaugural competition with a 1–0 victory in the 2022 final against Feyenoord.[6] West Ham United are the current champions; they beat Fiorentina 2–1 in the 2023 final.[7] Italian and English clubs have won the competition the most times with one win each, while Italian and Dutch clubs have each lost one final.
