By Our Reporter On Jun 28, 2023 0

Uefa has shortened the name of its third-tier competition from “Europa Conference League” to “Conference League” from the 2024-25 season, European football’s governing body said on Wednesday.

The 2024 and 2025 finals will be held in Athens and Wroclaw respectively, while Lisbon will host the 2025 Women’s Champions League final at Sporting’s Estadio Jose Alvalade.

🏆 The @europacnfleague will be renamed to 𝐔𝐄𝐅𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 as of the 2024/25 season.

💡 Research has found that removing ‘Europa’ from the name of the competition will enable further development as a stand-alone competition.
