The Europa League is an annual club football competition organized by UEFA (the Union of European Football Associations). It is the second-tier tournament in European football, positioned below the UEFA Champions League. The competition features teams from various European leagues that qualify based on their performances in their domestic leagues and cup competitions.
The Europa League was established in 1971, originally known as the UEFA Cup, and was rebranded in 2009. It offers clubs a platform to compete at a high level and gain recognition in European football. Teams compete in a series of knockout rounds which begin with a group stage, followed by knockout rounds leading to the final. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the next season’s UEFA Champions League and may also earn a place in the UEFA Super Cup, where they play against the UEFA Champions League winner.
The tournament is widely regarded for its competitiveness and is seen as a significant achievement for participating clubs, offering an opportunity for lower-profile teams to shine on a broader stage in European football.
