Europa Conference League 2021-2022

The 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League will be the first season of the UEFA Europa Conference League, Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA.

The final will be played at the Arena Kombëtare in Tirana, Albania. The winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League will automatically qualify for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League group stage, unless they manage to qualify for the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League group stage.

This season will be the first since 1998–99 (the last season that the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was played) where three major European club competitions (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League) organised by UEFA take place.

No confirmed teams, but Spurs are in the 3rd Qualifying round around 5 & 12 August, format looks very confusing.

Wow! This competition really has caught our attention

think Leicester have tumbled down into it but Brendan is immensely proud to be part of this historic competition

You know what... we complain about English refs (rightly so), but it can always be worse...

Uefa refs are still better than their ego-maniac driven prem refs

Spurs got the boof from this, game v Rennes awarded to Rennes so out they go

Quarter final draw:
Bodo/Glimt v Roma
Feyenoord v Slavia Prague
Marseille v PAOK
Leicester v PSV Eindhoven

Semis:
Leicester/PSV v Bodo/Glimt/Roma
Feyenoord/Slavia Prague v Marseille/PAOK

Is this the League Cup of European Football.

No, more like the LDV Vans Trophy.

Mourinho might be on his way to win it, so that should tell you how worthless it is...

Pretty much his level now.

They will win that but what benefits you get? CL spot? Have to ask in case us lot! end in it

Think it guarentees a Europa League spot. Be a bit ridiculous if both the Europa League and Conference League had a place in the Champions League as a result of winning it.

Yeah agreed but just didn’t know how it works. Please god we don’t end in it.  What position goes in conference?

7th, but that doesn't mean straight into the group stage of it, that is just into a play-off to begin with.

Totally agree, don’t like the Europa league let along the new conference league now for reasons that we all agree on ( to many games )
Always said unless we reach Qfinal stages doesn’t bother me if we go out early as it definitely effects the Premier league.

I’d but the under 16s just so we don’t get in.

Don't worry, you won't win it anyway. 

But, to answer your question: "The winners of the competition are awarded a position in the Europa League the following season, unless they qualify for the Champions League."

Even if it's a useless competition, I'd hate for Jose to be the first to write his name on the trophy.

Mourinho would have been the first to mock and ridicule the competition in which he will now appear at the showpiece event. It seems fitting that he finds himself in the third tier of European club football.

Roma currently leading final 1-0

Yeah it is a bit if a dull final, Feyenoord can't do anything in the final 3rd.

A Mourinho-led team involved in a dull game? I'm shocked!
