Switzerland – Next year’s edition of the Champions League will be very exceptional because it will be held with a new system approved by the European Union with the aim of increasing the number of matches, expanding the scope of competition, and breaking the boredom of the group stage.
The continental championship will witness a major revolution, whether in the method of selecting the qualifying teams, or in the form of the competition itself, which has been transformed into a league system instead of the traditional group stage.
The 2024-2025 Champions League competitions will also be the stage for a larger number of participating teams, from 32 to 36 seats, giving an opportunity for several new teams to appear in the huge event.
The teams will be divided as follows:
– 32 teams qualify according to the European league classification: (champion from 1-10), (runner-up from 1-6), (third and fourth from 1-4), 6 places in the qualifiers, champion of the Champions League, champion of the European League).
– 4 additional seats are determined based on the following criteria:
– One seat for the club that occupies third place in the country ranked fifth on the continent (currently the French League).
– One seat for the club that wins its country’s league by increasing the number of clubs qualified through the “Champions Path” from 4 to 5.
-Two seats The last two are for the countries whose clubs achieved the best collective results in the previous season “2023-2024”, so that the total number of points obtained is divided by the number of participating clubs, which are the two leagues (Italian and German).
