The Europa League is one of Europe’s most prestigious competitions, offering fans quality football with a far more unique assortment of teams compared to the Champions League. Providing an opportunity for teams to make a name for themselves before being moved up to the Champions League, it's a fundamental part of European football and should be in any true football enthusiast's intention to watch it. Following the 54th edition of the tournament, a new format has been introduced, adding excitement to what is already coming out to be an exciting 2024/2025 season.
The introduction of the new format into the Europa League implements some new changes to the tournament. Instead of a traditional group stage, 36 teams will now compete in a single league, where they will play 8 matches to determine their place in the league. The top 8 teams will automatically qualify to the round of 16 whilst the next 16 teams will be given the opportunity to earn their place through play-off matches. After this, the knockout stage progresses as normal.
Whilst usually the Champions League is the tournament associated with the best football to watch, the Europa League is also a common source, delivering its own unique style of play not available in any other League around. Furthermore, the wider range of teams available to partake in the tournament makes this even more competitive as each team brings its own unique playing style and talent making each game unpredictable and unique making it a worthy watch for any football enthusiast.
