The Europa League is an annual club football competition organized by UEFA (the Union of European Football Associations) for eligible European football clubs. It is the second-tier tournament in European football, below the prestigious UEFA Champions League. Originally established in 1971 as the UEFA Cup, it was rebranded to the UEFA Europa League in 2009.
The competition features a series of qualifying rounds followed by a group stage, where clubs from various European leagues compete. Teams that perform well in their domestic leagues may qualify for the tournament, and it includes clubs from across the continent, ranging from top-tier teams to those from smaller leagues.
The Europa League serves as an opportunity for clubs to gain international experience and prestige, as well as a chance for the winner to secure a place in the following season’s UEFA Champions League. It is characterized by a knockout format in the latter stages, culminating in a final match to determine the champion. The tournament has a rich history and showcases diverse football cultures across Europe.
