UEBA: Europe
The rest of Europe is spread across the UEBA Europa League, which in my world isn’t a tournament like it is in the real world. It’s divided into two sub-leagues, North and South. Each league has 26 teams and there’s no interleague play.
Europa League teams who are playing the in Champions League this year (APOEL, BATE Borisov, Basel, Dinamo Zagreb, Donetsk, Olympiakos, Viktoria Plzen, and Trabzonspor) have a full uniform set. One team, the Southern League's Galati Otelul, is in the Champions League but I decided not to make them a uniform for a couple of reasons: IRL the club sort of falls apart after its UCL season and hasn't represented Romania since, and ITT, they are a very small team from Romania with obscure sponsors and kit manufacturers, so I de-prioritized trying to get their uniform right. In previous play throughs they don't make a return to the CL, but maybe they'll prove me wrong this year!
At the end of the season the promotion relegation numbers are:
- Europa League: 2 down per sub-league
- Conference League: 2 up per sub-league
The Conference League consists of prominent European teams who haven’t been previously represented in the Champions League Group Stage, except, Sherriff, which was in the group stage in 2020-21. Several of these teams have been IRL Europa League group stage participants though.
The Europa League and Conference League each end with a best-of-seven series between sub-league winners. The winner of the championship gets a higher seeding coefficient in the Champions League.

The Europa League season starts the first Saturday in April.
The Conference League season starts on the first Saturday in July.
That’s it for the leagues!
A couple of notes. If, IRL, a team promotes into one of my major leagues (so from the IRL National League equivalent), I’ll expand the national league in this world to include that team. So to all you Wrexham fans out there, if Rob and Ryan get their team promoted to League 2 this year, I’ll add them to the English National League in my game.
I’ll also be changing the sizes of my major leagues to represent real life changes. Off the top of my head, Portugal and Belgium change the number of teams in each league IRL sometime between 2018 and 2021, so I’ll do the same for them in my game.
The next post will cover the three major tournaments in the world: the World Cup, the Euros, and the Champions League.
