UEFA Conference League

The UEFA Conference League is a European club football (soccer) competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It is established as the third tier of European football, below the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The tournament was launched in the 2021-2022 season to provide more clubs from various nations the opportunity to participate in European competitions. It features teams from across Europe, including national league champions from lower-ranked leagues and clubs that do not qualify for the higher-tier tournaments. Matches are played in a knockout format, culminating in a final to determine the champion of the competition. The UEFA Conference League aims to enhance the level of competition and increase participation among clubs that may not historically have had the chance to compete in Europe.
