In world football, no other club rivalry matches the magnitude and attraction of the men’s UEFA Champions Association (UCL).
The competition sees Europe’s best groups compete each year for the coveted prize and to be named ‘Europe’s Best’.
While other mainland confederations such as the Asian Football Confederation, the Confederation of African Football and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) additionally run their own mainland Champions Association partners, the sheer prominence of European football throughout the world makes the UCL unique.
Coordinated by the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA), Europe’s administrative body for football, the first edition of the UCL, known as the European Cup until 1992, was held in 1955.
In the good old days, the UCL was a knockout competition involving the owners of Europe’s various domestic associations. In 1991, a co-operative stage or gathering stage was introduced and from the 1997–98 season multiple groups from one country were allowed to play in the UCL, increasing the number of groups in the competition.
As things stand, the main draw of the UEFA Champions Association begins with 32 teams, divided into eight groups, who play in a double cooperative conference stage. The best two from each assembly advance to the knockouts, which are played over two stages – except the final.
The domestic bosses and runners-up of the top European football nations participate in the UEFA Champions Association. Solid associations such as Britain, Spain and Germany get up to four places in the preliminary draw. UEFA is considering increasing the number of teams to 48 to increase interest from all countries.
Spanish goliaths Real Madrid won the primary edition of the UCL, then known as the European Cup, in 1955, and won the award in the following four editions – the longest winning streak in the opposition’s set of experiences.
