Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The UEFA Europa
League (previously called the UEFA Cup) is an annual association
football cup competition organised by UEFA since 1971 for eligible
European football clubs. It is the second most prestigious European club
football contest after the UEFA Champions League. Clubs qualify for the
competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup
competitions. Previously called the UEFA Cup, the competition has been
known as the UEFA Europa League since the 2009-10 season, following a
change in format. For UEFA footballing records purposes, the UEFA Cup
and UEFA Europa League are considered the same competition, with the
change of name being simply a rebranding. The competition replaced the
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; however, as the competition was not organised by
UEFA, for their records purposes it is not considered a continuation of
the same tournament. A prime example is Leeds United, who were twice
winners of the Fairs Cup, but are not recognised by UEFA as having won
any European trophies.
