The UEFA Conference League qualification process is part of a fairly modern football competition that has been conducted since 2021, however it has already taken its rightful place in the European football calendar. Positioned as the third tier competition behind the Champions League and the Europa League, it is mainly contested by the lower ranking European football clubs.
After the rebranding in the 2024/2025 season, the initial group stage was replaced by a league stage. However, unlike the Champions League and Europa League, no team can directly qualify for the league stage. Instead, clubs can enter it in one of...

Some knockout ties need no selling. France versus Morocco at a World Cup makes its own case, and both dressing rooms know precisely why.
Three years on from that 2022 semi-final in Qatar – the night Morocco's fairytale collided with Les Bleus and stopped – the sides meet again, this time in the quarter-finals, on Thursday 9 July at 9pm BST. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, just south of Boston, stages the rematch.
The framing has shifted, though: Morocco arrive as genuine contenders rather than gatecrashers, and France as favourites still chasing that trophy that slipped away in 2022.

While most of Europe is still on its summer break, UEFA’s European club football is already back. On 9th July 2026, six ties among twelve clubs will kick off the new UEFA Europa League qualification season, more than two full months before the league phase begins.
Although many of these games go unnoticed, the stakes could not be higher for the clubs involved. For example, for countries like Iceland, Moldova, Ireland, and more, a run through qualifying could be a game-changing opportunity, because it brings in more revenue than an entire domestic season. It also puts a small club’s name...

Before the 36-team league phase kicks off, 52 clubs have to win their way in through a summer of Champions League qualifiers, played out over two legs between clubs you might not know yet and a few you definitely do.
For the champions of Europe's smaller leagues it is the only route to the top table. For bigger names who slipped up at home, it is a nervy detour they would rather avoid. Either way, it all starts on 7 July.
