UEFA Club Licensing

UEFA Club Licensing is a set of rules and standards that football clubs must meet to participate in top-tier European competitions like the Champions League and Europa League. It ensures clubs are financially responsible, well-organized, and have proper infrastructure, such as stadiums and youth development programs. The process involves evaluating a club’s financial health, governance, legal status, safety, and facilities. Meeting these criteria maintains the integrity and quality of European football, promoting fair competition and long-term sustainability for clubs across the continent.
