UEFA | Europe's Football Engine
UEFA runs the competitions that drive European football. Champions League. Europa League. Nations League.
Behind them all is UEFA.
UEFA is European football's governing body. It organises major competitions and connects clubs, countries and players across Europe. But UEFA is more than tournaments.
It sets the rules, manages competitions and distributes the money generated by European football. At the centre is the Champions League.
The biggest clubs.
The biggest games.
The biggest audiences.
UEFA sits in the middle of it all. FIFA connects the world. UEFA drives Europe.
