E.F.U. Euro League

The E.F.U. Euro League

The E.F.U. Euro League is my Chart Soccer version of the U.E.F.A. Champions League. The format is 32 teams in 8 groups of 4, of which 24 qualify directly for the group stage. There are two qualifying rounds to find the other 8 teams for the group stage, four from the champions' path and four from the non-champions' path. The teams eliminated in the qualification rounds transfer to the an appropriate round of the secondary competition, the Euro Cup.

For the Group Stage, the 32 clubs are ranked according to their coefficients and placed into four pots for the draw, with the top eight in Pot 1, the next eight in Pot 2, etc. Each group must have one team from each pot, but teams from the same country cannot be drawn into the same group.

Once the Group Stage is complete the top two teams from each group, i.e. 16 teams, proceed to the Knock-out stages and, from Season 183, the 8 third-placed teams transfer to the Euro Cup. In the draw for the last 16 the group winners from the previous stage are seeded so that they cannot play each other. Additionally, teams from the same group and country are kept apart at this stage, and the ties are drawn so that the group winners play at home in the second leg. From the Quarter-Final onwards, however, the draw is open and there are no restrictions as to which teams cannot be drawn together.
