Europa Cup breaks new ground for women’s football in Europe

The Women’s Europa Cup has officially commenced, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of women's football in Europe. Kicking off with the round of 16, this new competition offers teams a chance to compete in a two-legged knockout format, culminating in an inaugural final scheduled for May and June 2024. While it may operate under the shadow of the Champions League, the Europa Cup is seen as a fresh opportunity for the development of women's football, which continues to grow and gain recognition. This initiative is crucial for promoting the sport and providing more platforms for female athletes.
