UEFA Conference League

The UEFA Conference League is a European football competition launched in 2021, designed to give more clubs from across the continent the chance to compete in international tournaments. Positioned below the Champions League and Europa League, it features teams that missed out on those tournaments, offering an opportunity for emerging clubs to shine. The competition adds depth to European football, with the winner earning a spot in the following season's Europa League.
