New Europa League award gives competition a meaning

The Europa League winners will qualify for the Champions League from the 2015/16 season, UEFA have confirmed.

UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino announced the rule change which aims to make the second-tier European tournament more attractive to clubs.

Infantino did not confirm the full details, but it is understood that Europa League winners and Champions League winners will no longer take a place from the domestic leagues if they finish outside of the Champions League qualifying spots.

Hopefully by 2015/16 we’ll qualify directly to the Champions League rather than rely on the hope of winning the Europa League!
