The beginning of the Europa Conference League means several essential alterations for the UEFA European soccer.
The group stage will be decreased from 48 to 32 teams – eight groups out of four. The eight group top teams will progress automatically to the next round.
There it has additional knockout round playoffs before the round of 16. These will be within the eight Europa League group runners-up with the eight third-ranked teams in the UEFA Champions League groups.
Games will continue to be played on Thursday other than the final, alongside UEFA Europa Conference League games.
The competition undergoes significant differences in its 51st season, the 13th since it was renamed from UEFA Cup to UEFA European soccer.
It is arranged to run from 5 August 2021 to 18 May 2022. As earlier, the best team would earn an automatic place in the coming season’s European League group stage.
The clubs involved are
The clubs Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. Have announced plans to join the competition with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus.
It is anticipated that three more clubs will join the breakaway group as creating members of the new midweek tournament, which the manager said will begin very soon.
Twelve European soccer top clubs have given the format of a coming Super League.
European soccer authorities have majorly criticized the breakaway, fan organizations together with politicians across Europe.
The proposed format
The league will have 20 teams, with 15 founding members joined by five clubs that qualify annually based on their home games achievements.
The 20 teams would be separated into two groups of 10; each side played with the other home and away teams in the midweek fixtures.
The best three clubs from every group would continue for the quarter-finals, having the final two spots paid after a playoff between the teams completing fourth and fifth in their groups.
After the quarter-final stage onwards, a two-legged knockout tie home and away from the new knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League will have a single fixture final in a neutral venue.
How does qualifying work?
Qualifying to European soccer is much-changed, featuring 27 teams within two rounds and the third qualification round and playoffs. It begins later than previously, in August.
The number of teams involved in qualifying will have transferred from the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. But various teams in principle cup winner from best 15-ranked associations’ starts directly in UEFA European soccer qualifying.
Where will the final take place?
The final would take place at Sevilla’s Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. It was first scheduled to be played in the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, though because of the postponement and replacement of the 2020 final.
Appointed final hosts have shifted back a year home to six-time UEFA European soccer winners Seville; the venue opened in 1958 and hosted the 1986 European Cup final.
When Steaua stunned Barcelona, the Spanish national team has not been losing games at the stadium.
How would it finance the European leagues?
The U.S. investment bank JP Morgan agreed on Monday to Reuters that it will be financing the new European league.
In their announcement, the breakaway teams announced the starting members would have to share 3.5 billion euros “solely to boost their infrastructure investment plans and of the offsetting the outbreak of the COVID pandemic.”
Would the league be a close shop?
One of the best points of criticism near the proposal is that only five teams in the 20-strong competition will be allowed based on their sporting achievements.
The remarkable 15 founding clubs will have their participation already guaranteed.
Conclusion
The coming European soccer league will be for more achievements for the clubs qualified to participate in.
Still, following documents reviewed by The Times in January, ideas for the breakaway European league had gathered pace since last season.
The above information is appropriately what will be done when the league begins unless changes occur.
