The body that governs European football expanded the number of participants, the way to qualify for the knockout phase, as well as the way in which they will classify the teams in the format that will begin to exercise from the 2024-2025 season.

These are the main changes:

  • 36 participating teams.

  • Single league phase with 10 games for each team.

  • The first 8 will advance to the next phase.

  • The rest of the participants (16) will play qualification keys to the eighth.

  • The classification to the Champions League will be given by merit in the national leagues.

Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA president, assured that the new format supports the future of football.

“This new format also supports the status and future of football at the national level throughout Europe.

It maintains the principle that performance in national competition should be the key to qualification, and reconfirms the principles of solidarity within football and open competition, "he said.
