International football competition

The 2024–25 UEFA Conference League was the fourth season of the UEFA Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA.

From this season, the competition was renamed from the UEFA Europa Conference League to the UEFA Conference League.[3] This was also the first edition of the tournament played under a new format involving a 36-team league phase.[4] This increased the total number of matches played in the competition proper from 141 to 153. The new format also did not allow teams to transfer from the Europa League league or knockout phase to the Conference League knockout phase, and thus Conference League winners (Olympiacos in the 2023–24 edition) could no longer defend their title as the winner of the Conference League automatically qualified for the Europa League league phase.

The final was played at the Wrocław Stadium in Wrocław, Poland, between Chelsea and Real Betis, with Chelsea winning the match 4–1.[5][6] The victory made Chelsea the first club to win all four major European trophies, including all three of the current European competitions. Chelsea’s triumph over Betis also marked the first time a Spanish team had lost a final since  Valencia lost to Bayern Munich in the 2001 Champions League final and marked the first English team to beat a Spanish team in a European final since Liverpool's UEFA Cup triumph, also in 2001.[7]

## Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 164 teams from 54 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League. The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[8]

* Associations 1–12 each have one team.
* Associations 13–33 and 51–55 (except Russia)[Note RUS] each have two teams.
* Associations 34–50 each have three teams (except Liechtenstein, which has one).[Note LIE]
* 14 teams eliminated from the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League and 41 teams eliminated from the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League were transferred to the Conference League.

### Association ranking

[edit]

For the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2023 UEFA association coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2018–19 to 2022–23.[9]

Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Conference League, as noted below:

* (UCL) – Additional teams transferred from the UEFA Champions League
* (UEL) – Additional/vacated teams transferred from/to the UEFA Europa League

The information here reflects the ongoing suspension of Russia in European football, and so the following changes to the default access list were made:

* The cup winners of associations 39 to 44 (Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg, Faroe Islands and Northern Ireland) will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.
* As a result of corresponding changes to the Champions League access list, there was one fewer loser from the Champions League first qualifying round transferred to the Conference League second qualifying round (Champions Path) so one transferred team received a bye to the third qualifying round (Champions Path).

As the Champions League title holders (Real Madrid) qualified for the Champions League via their domestic league's standard berth allocation, the following changes to the default access list were made:

* As a result of corresponding changes to the Champions League access list, there was one fewer loser from the Champions League first qualifying round (two fewer in total) transferred to the Conference League second qualifying round (Champions Path), so one transferred team (two in total) received a bye to the third qualifying round (Champions Path).

As the Europa Conference League title holders (Olympiacos) entered the Europa League, the berth they qualified for via league position (Conference League second qualifying round) was vacated, and the following changes to the default access list were made:

* The cup winners of associations 45 (Malta) and 46 (Georgia) will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round.

Notes

1. ^

Champions League (UCL Q1): Two of the Champions League first qualifying round losers were drawn to receive byes to the third qualifying round (Champions Path), as two fewer losers were transferred to the second qualifying round (Champions Path), due to Champions League league phase berths vacated following the Champions League title holders (Real Madrid) qualifying via league position and the suspension of Russia from the 2024–25 European season.

2. ^

Albania (ALB): Skënderbeu, who finished third in the 2023–24 Kategoria Superiore, were banned from entering UEFA competitions. As a result, their berth in the competition was passed onto the fifth-placed team, Tirana.

3. ^

Georgia (GEO): Georgian Cup winners FC Saburtalo Tbilisi changed their name to FC Iberia 1999 on 27 February 2024.

4. ^

Greece (GRE): Olympiacos qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League league phase by winning the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League, so their third place berth was vacated.

5. ^

Latvia (LVA): Valmiera, who finished fourth in the 2023 Latvian Higher League, were denied a UEFA license. As a result, their place in the competition was passed onto the fifth-placed team, Liepāja.

6. ^

Liechtenstein (LIE): The seven teams affiliated with the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV) all played in the Swiss football league system. The only competition organised by the LFV was the Liechtenstein Football Cup – the winners of which qualified for the UEFA Conference League for the 2024–25 season.

7. ^

Lithuania (LTU): Due to the three-year rule, cup winners FK TransINVEST were not expected to compete as they were less than three years old. However, they were granted an exception and allowed to participate in European competitions.[10]

8. ^

Luxembourg (LUX): Swift Hesperange, who finished second, were denied a UEFA license. Consequently, their place in the competition was passed onto the next highest-ranked team granted a UEFA licence by the FLF, UNA Strassen, who finished sixth.

9. ^

Russia (RUS): On 28 February 2022, Russian football clubs and national teams were suspended from FIFA and UEFA competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[11] The tables reflect Russia's ongoing suspension from UEFA competitions.[12]

Location of teams of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League league phase

The league phase draw for the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on 30 August 2024, 14:30 CEST.[20][21] The 36 teams were divided into six pots of six teams each based on their UEFA club coefficient.

The 36 teams were manually drawn and then automated software digitally drew their six different opponents at random, determining which of their matches were at home and which ones away. Each team faced one opponent from each of the six pots. Teams could not face opponents from their own association, and could only be drawn against a maximum of two sides from the same association.[22][23]

Borac Banja Luka, Celje, Cercle Brugge, 1\. FC Heidenheim, Jagiellonia Białystok, Larne, Noah, Pafos, Petrocub Hîncești, The New Saints, and Víkingur Reykjavík all made their debut appearances in a major UEFA competition group or league phase. Noah were the first club in Conference League history to successfully navigate all four rounds of qualification, while The New Saints and Larne were the first teams from the Wales and Northern Ireland associations, respectively, to play in a major UEFA competition group or league stage.[note 1]

A total of 29 national associations were represented in the league phase.

### Table

[edit]

The top eight ranked teams received a bye to the round of 16. The teams ranked from 9th to 24th will contest the knockout phase play-offs, with the teams ranked from 9th to 16th seeded for the draw. Teams ranked from 25th to 36th were eliminated from the competition.

## Knockout phase

[edit]

Main article: 2024–25 UEFA Conference League knockout phase

In the knockout phase, teams will play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The bracket structure for the knockout phase is partially fixed in advance using seeding, with teams' positions in the bracket determined by the final standings in the league phase. In the knockout phase, there is no country protection, with teams from the same association able to face each other in any round. Teams can also face opponents they played during the league phase.

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:[8]

* In the draw for the knockout phase play-offs, the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 9–16 were seeded, and the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 17–24 were unseeded. The draw was split into four sections based on the predetermined bracket, with the seeded teams in each section drawn against one of their two possible unseeded opponents. The seeded teams hosted the second leg.
* In the draw for the round of 16, the eight teams finishing the league phase in positions 1–8 were seeded, and the eight winners of the knockout phase play-offs were unseeded. Again, the draw was split into four sections based on the predetermined bracket, with the seeded teams in each section drawn against one of their two possible unseeded opponents. The seeded teams hosted the second leg.
* In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the exact match pairings were predetermined based on the tournament bracket. A draw was conducted only to determine which team played the first leg at home. The winner of semi-final 1 will be designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it is played at a neutral venue).
