Wikipedia - UEFA Youth League

The UEFA Youth League is an annual club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) since 2013. In its current format, it is contested by the under-19 teams of the clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League league phase, plus the domestic youth champions of the best-ranked national associations.

The semi-finals and final matches have been traditionally played at the Colovray Stadium in Nyon, Switzerland, although for the 2022–23 edition, they were moved to the Stade de Genève due to increased interest in the tournament from the supporters of the participating clubs. The winners are awarded the Lennart Johansson Trophy, named in honour of the former UEFA president.

The most successful team is Barcelona with three titles. They are also the current champions after beating Trabzonspor 4–1 in the 2025 final.

History

In May 2010, UEFA organised a match, referred to as the "UEFA Under-18 Challenge", between the under-18 teams of Bayern Munich and Internazionale, three days prior to the UEFA Champions League final between the respective senior sides. Internazionale won the match 2–0 with two goals from Denis Alibec. The match was part of "UEFA Grassroots Day", and acted as an inspiration for the UEFA Youth League.

The teams in the first tournament, 2013–14 UEFA Youth League, played a group stage with the same composition and calendar as the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage, and was held on a 'trial basis'.

The eight group winners and eight runners-up from group stage then participated in a knockout phase. Unlike the UEFA Champions League, the knockout phase had single-leg ties, with the semi-finals and final played at neutral venues.

British media commented that the competition was formed to displace the NextGen Series.

In April 2014, Barcelona became the first winners, beating Benfica by 3–0 in the final-four held in Nyon.

After a two-year trial period, the UEFA Youth League became a permanent UEFA competition starting from the 2015–16 season, with the tournament expanded from 32 to 64 teams to allow the youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations according to their UEFA country coefficients to also participate. The 32 UEFA Champions League group stage youth teams retain the group stage format, with the group winners advancing to the round of 16 and the runners-up advancing to the play-offs. The 32 youth domestic champions play two rounds of two-legged ties, with the eight winners advancing to the play-offs, where they play a single match at home against the Champions League path runners-up. The round of 16 onwards retain the same format of single-leg ties as before.

From the 2024–25 season onwards, the format of the UEFA Youth League was changed to accommodate the changes to be seen in the UEFA Champions League, with some differences:

  • The new 36 team group stage for the Champions League path will only mirror the first six matchdays of the senior competition, with the top 22 teams making the knockout stage.
  • The domestic champions path will be expanded to three rounds, with the remaining 10 clubs facing the teams ranked 7th to 16th in the group stage; the top 6 from the Champions League path will face the teams ranked 17th to 22nd.
  • The Youth League champions from the previous season qualify for the domestic champions path unless their senior team makes the Champions League group stage, in which case they will participate in the Champions League path.
The UEFA Youth League is a prestigious annual football competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), featuring the best youth teams from across Europe. Launched in 2013, the tournament aims to develop young talent by providing a competitive platform parallel to the senior UEFA Champions League. It typically includes the youth squads of top-tier European clubs, competing in group stages followed by knockout rounds. The UEFA Youth League showcases the future stars of European football, offering fans an exciting glimpse into emerging talent and the next generation of professional players. The tournament emphasizes skill development, tactical growth, and competitive experience, making it a key event in the development pathway for young footballers across the continent.
