E.F.U. Champions Cup

The E.F.U. Champions Cup

The E.F.U. Champions' Cup is the "primary" European cup competition in the E.F.U. Chart Soccer setup. Originally, the cup was just for the champions of leagues that are members of the E.F.U. More recently, however, it was expanded to include runners-up and lower league positions for the top nations. From Season 162 it was renamed the Euro-League, but has from Season 196 reverted to the Champions Cup nomenclature.

Currently, 40 clubs from 32 nations enter the competition, with the top 8 countries getting two entrants. Each of the top 8 countries gets 2 entrants directly to the Group Stage, unless the previous season's winners come from a country below 8th in the co-efficient table, in which case the runners-up from the country in 8th position must play in the Playoff Round. The champions from countries in positions 9 to 16 in the co-efficient table get a bye to the Playoff Round, whereas the champions of countries in positions 17 to 32 have to enter at the Qualifying Round stage. The 8 winners from the Playoff Round join the 16 byes to make up 24 teams in the Group Stage. In the Group Stage, the top two teams qualify from each group, but the 4 group winners with the best records go straight through to the Quarter-final, whereas the remaining 2 group winners plus the 6 group runners-up play in the Extra Knockout Round for a place in the Quarter-final.
