UEFA Europa Conference League announced as third-tier European competition

After the idea was approved by it’s executive committee in December 2018, UEFA has finally announced the unveiling of its third European competition in the UEFA Europa Conference League, which is all set to kick off from 2021 onwards.

The competition will be below the UEFA Champions League as well as the UEFA Europa League in terms of stature but will be opportunities for cup-winners and lower league sides at a shot at winning a European competition.

Indeed, only one team from the top leagues in Spain, Germany, England, France and Italy will make the tournament.
