The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has been organizing the UEFA Europa League, originally known as the UEFA Cup, as an annual club football competition since 1971. It is the second-tier European club football competition, above the UEFA Europa Conference League and below the UEFA Champions League.
Prior to the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup's discontinuation in 1999, the third-tier competition was the UEFA Cup, which is why it is still frequently referred to as the "C3." Based on their results in their respective national leagues and cup competitions, clubs earn a spot in the competition.
It replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup when it was first introduced in 1971 as the UEFA Cup. The UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was disbanded as a distinct competition in 1999 and combined with the UEFA Cup. A group stage came before the knockout stage starting with the 2004–05 season. As a result of a format change, the competition has been known as the Europa League since the 2009–10 campaign.
In 2009, the competition underwent a rebranding that featured a merger with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, resulting in an enhanced competition format with an expanded group stage and modified qualification standards. The victor of the UEFA Europa League advances to the UEFA Super Cup and, as of the 2014–15 campaign, also advances to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the next campaign.
Spanish clubs have the most victories (13), followed by English and Italian teams (9 wins each). 29 clubs have claimed the trophy, and 14 of those have done it more than once. With six trophies, Sevilla is the most successful club in the league. The current winners are Eintracht Frankfurt, who defeated Rangers in the 2022 championship game 5-4 on penalties.
