Why is there no table of past winners as per all of the other football tournament articles? I know there is a past finals list, but this is not quite what I mean, and why is it on a different page anyway, when it is far more fundemental to the article than alot of the other information on here.

This article is completely wrong, the Fairs Cup and the UEFA Cup are completely different, chech UEFA's official website to see this ( http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/uefacup/History/index.html). As an example, check Barcelona's official trophy count ( http://www.uefa.com/footballEurope/Club=50080/competition=1/index.html). As you can see, there are no UEFA Cups, nor Fairs Cup, as this was an unofficial competition. I think the article should be completely changed and only talk about the UEFA Cup. Then another one on the Fairs Cup could be done. Robert King.

Is it really fair to say that the Fairs Cup was "renamed" the UEFA Cup? It seems to be that the UEFA Cup is treated as a new competition, REPLACING the Fairs Cup. - fchd 17:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
"the UEFA Administration may, at the request of the association of the club concerned, admit this club to the current UEFA Cup competition. Its participation will not be at the expense of the contingent of its association."
Are you sure this is correct because I know that for the Champions League, for example, the winner of the cup will get into the competition along with the team that qualified for the last place in the cup. If having both clubs in the competition causes too many clubs from the same country to be in the competition then the holder of the cup will get in ahead of the last qualifying club (the one who finished the lowest out of all the clubs that qualified). Too many clubs, for the Champions League for example, is five clubs (four is the max and therefore a problem is created when a club outside the top four wins the Champions League and UEFA has recently changed their rules to completely address this sort of situation after the Liverpool-Everton debacle last year). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yonatanh ( talk • contribs)

excuse me for being a liverpool fan and thinking that since liverpool hvave been to 3 UEFA cup finals and lost none, should be ranked higher than Juventus whoe despite being to 6 finals, have lost half of them. What is success anyway? Isnt it not defined principally by winning! Juventus obviously have a high failure rate in UEFA Cup finals and should not be called 'the most successful club in UEFA cup history' on the baisis of finishing second best 3 times! Who are more successful at uefa cup finals, Liverpool 3 out of 3 or Juventus 3 out of 6 'finals'? If this is not just about the final game itself and the whole tournament, then it gets even more complicated, we may need to start looking at all results, games played, won, tied and lost, goals scored and conceded etc like a league.
Success is measured by winning and when teams are tied for number of wins, how can failur to win and finishing second best, be placed above not loosing at all? granted we need to give credit to Juventus for getting to the final the most times but, getting to the final is not succcess, winning it is. Failing to win is failure, its as good as getting knocked out in earlier rounds!
Neither here not at UEFA Champions League have I found a concise explanation of the difference between the two. The other article simply says "not to be confused with the UEFA Cup". Could someone add a brief explanation please. 172.173.125.174 12:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
The Fairs Cup article mentions that the one club per city rule was abolished in the early 60s when Edinburgh and Barcelona had two teams in the competition, however, the UEFA Cup article states that the rule was in effect until 1975 when Everton challenged it. I also know that Clyde FC were prevented from competing in the 1967 Fairs Cup because of this rule. So my question is, does anyone know when the rule would have been reinstated or perhaps it wasn't an official rule until some time after the early 60s?-- Largo1965 15:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Due to the long-running edit war, I have protected this article and three others where the same UEFA Cup/ Fairs Cup dispute is occurring. Protection is not an endorsement of the current version (see m:The Wrong Version). As for all four articles the dispute is identical, I suggest discussion ought to take place on one page to help keep track.

"While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is considered a pre-cursor to the UEFA Cup for records purposes..."
This is factually incorrect, and I recommend that it should be removed. U.E.F.A. itself specifies that the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup does not count as part of a club's U.E.F.A. record, nor is to count for "records purposes". I propose that this erroneous statement should be removed, and that the list of most successful clubs be updated to exclude F.C. Barcelona (who have never won the U.E.F.A. Cup) and Valencia C.F.(who have only won the U.E.F.A. Cup once) - their Fairs Cup wins do not count as U.E.F.A. Cup wins! Heracles2008 ( talk) 04:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
As i said, it's already been discussed and consensus ruled For it's inclusion, and the matter was settled.
i've already proven and showed numerous statements proving it was just a name change from uefa.com and other sources. Here is the main source: I QUOTE FROM THE OFFICIAL SITE http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/uefacup/History/index.html
"Name change
The was in 1971/72, won by Tottenham Hotspur FC, and the first to be known as the UEFA Cup. The change of name was recognition of the fact the competition was now run by UEFA and no longer associated with the trade fairs" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I think fchd has hit the nail on the head, firstly he's right virtually all statisical records pair both comps together, i recall i mentioned several in another discussion page. UEFA took over the competition in 1971 and changed the name, and your incorrect none of the fairs cup seasons lasted 2 to 3 years, that's false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 21:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

As it says it's just for record purposes why they are put together, it gets described as "3 UEFA CUPS" because the Int. C Cup is defunct now, and as it has been re-named to the UEFA Cup it gets classed as 3 UEFA Cup's. That's all it is, as it's been said many times before for record purposes the records are collated and have been for years, to suggest there's some supporter bias is ludicrous, this discussion renders my team in no way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 13:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
You are actually in favour of keeping seperate records for the Premier League and Football League? That's laughable, which makes your opinion on this totally defunct. That's going way too far actually having seperate records, having Man Utd top with 9. Everyone and i mean everyone collates the English records. User:Fadiga09 User talk:Fadiga09 13:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
As you say yourself it is the continuation of the Fairs cup, it changed its name because of a different commitee taking over the competition, and it is common practice to collate the results, i really have nothing new to add, i said everything i had to say when the voting was taking place couple of months ago and now.

For anyone interested, there is a survey on Talk:European_football_records#Survey about this subject.-- ClaudioMB ( talk) 06:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Optimistic title perhaps, but we shall see. This diff is typical of those in this edit war. The crux, of course, is whether to include Fairs Cup results. The Fairs Cup was a precursor to the UEFA Cup, but how closely entwined the competitions are is a bone of contention. I don't think anyone will dispute that in 1971 UEFA took over administration of the Fairs Cup, changed the entry criteria and relaunched it as the UEFA Cup. UEFA does not currently include the Fairs Cup in its records, but there are sources/statisticians who list them together.
Now, addressing the text changes in the edit wars directly:
Infoboxes are not suited to situations like this where the answer is dependent upon the definition. Removing it from the infobox and putting a fuller explanation in the prose is a better option. Something like Inter, Juventus and Liverpool have won the UEFA Cup three times. If the precursor of the UEFA Cup, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, is also included, Barcelona and Valencia each have three titles.
Each version seeks to assert primacy, when the talk page shows that things are not necessarily so simple. I think both views could be incorporated. Something like: UEFA records list the Fairs Cup as a separate entity to the UEFA Cup, though some sources list both competitions together as a continuous entity. - with references for both parts, of course. The Cup Winners Cup part relates to the text above it, it probably makes the passage harder to understand, if anything, and I think that part should either be removed or reworded.
I'm sure that this change is merely incidental, and not the reason for reversion, but anyway... The article is currently at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, where the article has resided since its creation. Requests to change that should be taken up at Talk:Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium or WP:RM.
Less room for manoeuvre. However, the same content is listed on UEFA Cup finals, and I see little point in duplication. Either that article should be merged here, or the table should be removed entirely.
Constructive comments welcome. Oldelpaso ( talk) 18:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Many sources collate records, it's common practice. What makes RSSSF.com more important than the many sources than collate the records? Anyway i wouldn't take the UEFA.com information to literal, why would they collate the records when they weren't part of the Fairs Cup which is a DIRECT tournament to the UEFA Cup, the collation of the records is more than necessary and don't make out that your sources are more worthy, both sides of the argument have reputable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 09:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Be serious please, if UEFA not recognize the Fairs Cup as UEFA competition, Wikipedia don't have include it like another thing! RSSSF is a project like wiki for football, so it's not a primary source, UEFA.com IS! -- Dantetheperuvian ( talk) 22:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Ultra all my sources there's 5 of them are in the talk page of EUROPEAN FOOTBALL RECORDS and not to mention the other sources provided by other members on my side, check them out and as far as i'm concerned RRSF or whatever they are called it just a website just as my sources suggest and there is no way the RRSF holds more repute than mines why should it? so as i say again we both have reputable sources so i would suggest to stop edit warring (again) Also Dante, just to add of course UEFA.com aren't going to collate, why would they? They weren't invovled and are obviously taking the higher ground, but the roots of this competition is the Fairs Cup and is recognised by most as that, barring UEFA because they weren't involved, but the fact of the matter is they can't deny to took it over and just added the term UEFA to make it theres, but it's the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 09:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

As said above many reliable sources have been shown from both sides, seeing as your an Admin you should be familiar with the neutrality of Wikipedia, yes?

I think a mistake has been made regarding that phrase in some particular cases. When a team ties a match and wins the other, the phrase "won on aggregate" does not apply. They did not win because of the aggregate tally of goals. They won because they tied one game and won the other, that is they had 4 points (or 3 before the change to 3 point wins) and the other team had 1 point. Perhaps we should change that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.135.20.3 ( talk) 14:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
User The Toad ( talk · contribs) has this morning split the UEFA Europa League information from this page into a new UEFA Europa League article, which currently looks like this. I don't think this was justified, it's not a new entity in so far as we are going to split all information about the two competitions, and without the infobox and lead para, there is not enough unique info to justify an article fork based on size alone. The presence of two articles just creates reader confusion about what information belongs where, and unneccessarily duplicates other info. I say this split should be reversed and merged back here, and we then rename this article to UEFA Europa League when the first ball is kicked in the new format.

A suggestion here. From what I've heard and seen so far it looks like the old silver "UEFA Cup" trophy will most likely remain the trophy of the Europa League. I'm not sure if it's been confirmed officially by UEFA but if it happens (and it most probably will) in the near future I suggest that the UEFA Cup article (that is currently a redirect to UEFA Europa League) should be about the trophy, the same way the European Cup article is. That is: Formerly the European Cup was the name of both the competition and the trophy, then the competition was renamed to "Champions League" and from that point onward the "European Cup" refers only to the trophy itself while "Champions League" is the name of the competition. I believe the same just happened with the UEFA Cup/Europa League (if UEFA confirms it of course and the trophy while retaining it's physical appearance doesn't change it's name). IJK_Principle ( talk) 19:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Oppose. UEFA Cup (trophy) is fine as a name for the trophy article, if that article is even needed. UEFA Cup, much like European Cup, should remain redirected to the competition articles, as 99% of people typing in UEFA Cup in the search box will be looking for this Europa league article, and will not be looking for details about the trophy itself (the European Cup article is actually at European Champion Clubs' Cup, not European Cup). The page UEFA Cup (disambiguation) is not needed at all if using a refined dab hat on this page, so I've prodded it for deletion. MickMacNee ( talk) 12:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I removed this unsourced statement: The 'one club per city' rule, inherited from the
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, was dropped in 1975. English club
Everton had finished fourth in the
English league and could thus qualify but were barred from entry because city rivals
Liverpool had also qualified by coming second. Everton appealed, saying the rule was an unfair
anachronism, and UEFA agreed to overturn it.
The phrase seems to be completely invented. Both Barcelona and Espanyol played in 1965-66, Atletico and Real in 1971-72, Espanyol and Barcelona in 1973-74, Juventus and Torino in 1974-75, Dinamo and Spartak Moscow in 1974-75. Maybe, it was a rule decided by the FA for English clubs only, but I don't see any reason for a similar decision.--

Given what has happened today, this article now needs a new map.
However, before it is updated, I just wanted to bring up something which I originally mentioned on the talk page for the UEFA Champions League article.
Basically, I think that the map is just coloured in green to such an extent that it doesn't really serve a purpose anymore. There isn't any differentiation between the vast majority of countries. After today, this issue is now even more prevalent.
What I suggested for the UEFA Champions League map was to have one colour for countries which have provided winners, another colour for countries to have provided losing finalists as their best result, another colour to denote semi-finals, and so on. I think that this could work here, too. It might end up making the map a bit more useful than having just two colours, especially when most of the countries are just one colour.
You can see the map section on the talk page for the UEFA Champions League article for more of my thoughts on this issue. Red v Blue 18:53, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Please incorporate this change in the article.
Taking the total number of teams from 32 to 36 in the UEFA Champions League, the biggest change will see a transformation from the traditional group stage to a single league stage including all participating teams.
…
Similar format changes will also be applied to the UEFA Europa League (8 matches in the league stage) and UEFA Europa Conference League (6 matches in the league stage). Subject to further discussions and agreements, these two competitions may also be expanded to a total of 36 teams each in the league stage. Eric Nelson ( talk) 12:39, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

The image of the trophy used in this article is quite clearly wrong. It contains flags of countries that are nor part of UEFA like Brazil or Canada. Other images contain different flags, including ones on the official UEFA site, for instance here. So I think the image should be removed and if possible replaced a different one.

This article is completely wrong, the Fairs Cup and the UEFA Cup are completely different, chech UEFA's official website to see this ( http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/uefacup/History/index.html). As an example, check Barcelona's official trophy count ( http://www.uefa.com/footballEurope/Club=50080/competition=1/index.html). As you can see, there are no UEFA Cups, nor Fairs Cup, as this was an unofficial competition. I think the article should be completely changed and only talk about the UEFA Cup. Then another one on the Fairs Cup could be done. Robert King.

Is it really fair to say that the Fairs Cup was "renamed" the UEFA Cup? It seems to be that the UEFA Cup is treated as a new competition, REPLACING the Fairs Cup. - fchd 17:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
"the UEFA Administration may, at the request of the association of the club concerned, admit this club to the current UEFA Cup competition. Its participation will not be at the expense of the contingent of its association."
Are you sure this is correct because I know that for the Champions League, for example, the winner of the cup will get into the competition along with the team that qualified for the last place in the cup. If having both clubs in the competition causes too many clubs from the same country to be in the competition then the holder of the cup will get in ahead of the last qualifying club (the one who finished the lowest out of all the clubs that qualified). Too many clubs, for the Champions League for example, is five clubs (four is the max and therefore a problem is created when a club outside the top four wins the Champions League and UEFA has recently changed their rules to completely address this sort of situation after the Liverpool-Everton debacle last year). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yonatanh ( talk • contribs)

excuse me for being a liverpool fan and thinking that since liverpool hvave been to 3 UEFA cup finals and lost none, should be ranked higher than Juventus whoe despite being to 6 finals, have lost half of them. What is success anyway? Isnt it not defined principally by winning! Juventus obviously have a high failure rate in UEFA Cup finals and should not be called 'the most successful club in UEFA cup history' on the baisis of finishing second best 3 times! Who are more successful at uefa cup finals, Liverpool 3 out of 3 or Juventus 3 out of 6 'finals'? If this is not just about the final game itself and the whole tournament, then it gets even more complicated, we may need to start looking at all results, games played, won, tied and lost, goals scored and conceded etc like a league.
Success is measured by winning and when teams are tied for number of wins, how can failur to win and finishing second best, be placed above not loosing at all? granted we need to give credit to Juventus for getting to the final the most times but, getting to the final is not succcess, winning it is. Failing to win is failure, its as good as getting knocked out in earlier rounds!
Neither here not at UEFA Champions League have I found a concise explanation of the difference between the two. The other article simply says "not to be confused with the UEFA Cup". Could someone add a brief explanation please. 172.173.125.174 12:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
The Fairs Cup article mentions that the one club per city rule was abolished in the early 60s when Edinburgh and Barcelona had two teams in the competition, however, the UEFA Cup article states that the rule was in effect until 1975 when Everton challenged it. I also know that Clyde FC were prevented from competing in the 1967 Fairs Cup because of this rule. So my question is, does anyone know when the rule would have been reinstated or perhaps it wasn't an official rule until some time after the early 60s?-- Largo1965 15:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

"While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is considered a pre-cursor to the UEFA Cup for records purposes..."
This is factually incorrect, and I recommend that it should be removed. U.E.F.A. itself specifies that the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup does not count as part of a club's U.E.F.A. record, nor is to count for "records purposes". I propose that this erroneous statement should be removed, and that the list of most successful clubs be updated to exclude F.C. Barcelona (who have never won the U.E.F.A. Cup) and Valencia C.F.(who have only won the U.E.F.A. Cup once) - their Fairs Cup wins do not count as U.E.F.A. Cup wins! Heracles2008 ( talk) 04:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
As i said, it's already been discussed and consensus ruled For it's inclusion, and the matter was settled.

As it says it's just for record purposes why they are put together, it gets described as "3 UEFA CUPS" because the Int. C Cup is defunct now, and as it has been re-named to the UEFA Cup it gets classed as 3 UEFA Cup's.

You are actually in favour of keeping seperate records for the Premier League and Football League? That's laughable, which makes your opinion on this totally defunct.

For anyone interested, there is a survey on Talk:European_football_records#Survey about this subject.-- ClaudioMB ( talk) 06:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Optimistic title perhaps, but we shall see. This diff is typical of those in this edit war. The crux, of course, is whether to include Fairs Cup results. The Fairs Cup was a precursor to the UEFA Cup, but how closely entwined the competitions are is a bone of contention. I don't think anyone will dispute that in 1971 UEFA took over administration of the Fairs Cup, changed the entry criteria and relaunched it as the UEFA Cup. UEFA does not currently include the Fairs Cup in its records, but there are sources/statisticians who list them together.
Now, addressing the text changes in the edit wars directly:
Infoboxes are not suited to situations like this where the answer is dependent upon the definition. Removing it from the infobox and putting a fuller explanation in the prose is a better option. Something like Inter, Juventus and Liverpool have won the UEFA Cup three times. If the precursor of the UEFA Cup, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, is also included, Barcelona and Valencia each have three titles.
Each version seeks to assert primacy, when the talk page shows that things are not necessarily so simple. I think both views could be incorporated. Something like: UEFA records list the Fairs Cup as a separate entity to the UEFA Cup, though some sources list both competitions together as a continuous entity. - with references for both parts, of course. The Cup Winners Cup part relates to the text above it, it probably makes the passage harder to understand, if anything, and I think that part should either be removed or reworded.
I'm sure that this change is merely incidental, and not the reason for reversion, but anyway... The article is currently at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, where the article has resided since its creation. Requests to change that should be taken up at Talk:Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium or WP:RM.
Less room for manoeuvre. However, the same content is listed on UEFA Cup finals, and I see little point in duplication. Either that article should be merged here, or the table should be removed entirely.

Many sources collate records, it's common practice. What makes RSSSF.com more important than the many sources than collate the records? Anyway i wouldn't take the UEFA.com information to literal, why would they collate the records when they weren't part of the Fairs Cup which is a DIRECT tournament to the UEFA Cup, the collation of the records is more than necessary and don't make out that your sources are more worthy, both sides of the argument have reputable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 09:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Ultra all my sources there's 5 of them are in the talk page of EUROPEAN FOOTBALL RECORDS and not to mention the other sources provided by other members on my side, check them out and as far as i'm concerned RRSF or whatever they are called it just a website just as my sources suggest and there is no way the RRSF holds more repute than mines why should it? so as i say again we both have reputable sources so i would suggest to stop edit warring (again) Also Dante, just to add of course UEFA.com aren't going to collate, why would they? They weren't invovled and are obviously taking the higher ground, but the roots of this competition is the Fairs Cup and is recognised by most as that, barring UEFA because they weren't involved, but the fact of the matter is they can't deny to took it over and just added the term UEFA to make it theres, but it's the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadiga09 ( talk • contribs) 09:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I think a mistake has been made regarding that phrase in some particular cases. When a team ties a match and wins the other, the phrase "won on aggregate" does not apply. They did not win because of the aggregate tally of goals. They won because they tied one game and won the other, that is they had 4 points (or 3 before the change to 3 point wins) and the other team had 1 point. Perhaps we should change that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.135.20.3 ( talk) 14:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think this was justified, it's not a new entity in so far as we are going to split all information about the two competitions, and without the infobox and lead para, there is not enough unique info to justify an article fork based on size alone. The presence of two articles just creates reader confusion about what information belongs where, and unneccessarily duplicates other info. I say this split should be reversed and merged back here, and we then rename this article to UEFA Europa League when the first ball is kicked in the new format.

A suggestion here. From what I've heard and seen so far it looks like the old silver "UEFA Cup" trophy will most likely remain the trophy of the Europa League. I'm not sure if it's been confirmed officially by UEFA but if it happens (and it most probably will) in the near future I suggest that the UEFA Cup article (that is currently a redirect to UEFA Europa League) should be about the trophy, the same way the European Cup article is. That is: Formerly the European Cup was the name of both the competition and the trophy, then the competition was renamed to "Champions League" and from that point onward the "European Cup" refers only to the trophy itself while "Champions League" is the name of the competition. I believe the same just happened with the UEFA Cup/Europa League (if UEFA confirms it of course and the trophy while retaining it's physical appearance doesn't change it's name). IJK_Principle ( talk) 19:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Oppose. UEFA Cup (trophy) is fine as a name for the trophy article, if that article is even needed. UEFA Cup, much like European Cup, should remain redirected to the competition articles, as 99% of people typing in UEFA Cup in the search box will be looking for this Europa league article, and will not be looking for details about the trophy itself (the European Cup article is actually at European Champion Clubs' Cup, not European Cup). The page UEFA Cup (disambiguation) is not needed at all if using a refined dab hat on this page, so I've prodded it for deletion. MickMacNee ( talk) 12:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I removed this unsourced statement: The 'one club per city' rule, inherited from the
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, was dropped in 1975. English club
Everton had finished fourth in the
English league and could thus qualify but were barred from entry because city rivals
Liverpool had also qualified by coming second. Everton appealed, saying the rule was an unfair
anachronism, and UEFA agreed to overturn it.
The phrase seems to be completely invented. Both Barcelona and Espanyol played in 1965-66, Atletico and Real in 1971-72, Espanyol and Barcelona in 1973-74, Juventus and Torino in 1974-75, Dinamo and Spartak Moscow in 1974-75. Maybe, it was a rule decided by the FA for English clubs only, but I don't see any reason for a similar decision.--

Given what has happened today, this article now needs a new map.
However, before it is updated, I just wanted to bring up something which I originally mentioned on the talk page for the UEFA Champions League article.
Basically, I think that the map is just coloured in green to such an extent that it doesn't really serve a purpose anymore. There isn't any differentiation between the vast majority of countries. After today, this issue is now even more prevalent.
What I suggested for the UEFA Champions League map was to have one colour for countries which have provided winners, another colour for countries to have provided losing finalists as their best result, another colour to denote semi-finals, and so on. I think that this could work here, too. It might end up making the map a bit more useful than having just two colours, especially when most of the countries are just one colour.

I work for UEFA, and I am updating broken links to our website (as our urls have all changed - this is also the case for match reports on the season pages (have updated then for the first few European Cup seasons) UEFAlinks ( talk) 11:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
1981 UEFA Cup Final says the league was second tier and here it says third tier, until 1999 and that article is for 1981, and so one of them needs to be fixed, and User:The Rambling Man has said to start a discussion here, so can anyone help? 174.77.115.26 ( talk) 01:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
When is it a good time to change the logo on the article? The new logo for next season has already been confirmed in UEFA media but they also continue to use the old one on their site. - StraightOuttaBoston ( talk) 7:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Is it really in the best location? It effects the page alignment and it's in small text, doesn't MOS:ACCESS not ring bells anyone? Govvy ( talk) 10:55, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Please incorporate this change in the article.
Taking the total number of teams from 32 to 36 in the UEFA Champions League, the biggest change will see a transformation from the traditional group stage to a single league stage including all participating teams.
…
Similar format changes will also be applied to the UEFA Europa League (8 matches in the league stage) and UEFA Europa Conference League (6 matches in the league stage). Subject to further discussions and agreements, these two competitions may also be expanded to a total of 36 teams each in the league stage. Eric Nelson ( talk) 12:39, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
Why is there a Canadian and a Mexican flag in the UEFA Europa League trophy? Canada & Mexico are not in Europe (UEFA), They’re in North America (CONCACAF) 113.178.81.152 ( talk) 15:02, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if it correct to call the UEFA Cup the third-tier competition from 1971 to 1999 when the way of qualifying for the uEFA cup and cup winners cup were completely different. Firestar47 ( talk) 23:18, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
The image of the trophy used in this article is quite clearly wrong. It contains flags of countries that are nor part of UEFA like Brazil or Canada. Other images contain different flags, including ones on the official UEFA site, for instance here. So I think the image should be removed and if possible replaced a different one.
