UEFA Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, established in 1971 as the UEFA Cup and rebranded in 2009, is one of the premier annual football competitions in Europe, organized by UEFA. It stands as the second-tier competition of European club football, ranking below the Champions League and above the Europa Conference League.

Historically, the competition has been a platform for clubs from a broader range of European nations to achieve international success, often featuring clubs that didn’t qualify for the Champions League. The Europa League has been praised for its inclusivity and competitive format, contributing to its popularity. The final generally attracts a global audience, offering substantial exposure for sponsors and advertisers.
