Club Football Betting

In the last two decades several of the world’s biggest and richest domestic football leagues have dominated the sport at the club level, attracting legions of fans from outside the countries where they are hosted.

This growth in popularity in the top club football leagues has been accompanied by the rise of regional club competitions, pitting the most powerful clubs in each league in the region against one another in some of the biggest sporting events of the year.

Regional Club Football Championships

International club football championships were pioneered in Europe, with the first regional championships played prior to the second world war. The concept took hold in the 1960s with the creation of the European Cup and gradually evolved into the Champions League.

The UEFA Champions League: Contested annually by the world’s biggest, richest clubs, the UEFA Champions League provides an unmatched club football spectacle.

The UEFA Cup: Created from the synthesis of the Inter Cities Fairs Cup and the Cup Winner’s Cup, the UEFA Cup has grown into a major European tournament in its own right. The tournament features the winners of Europe’s biggest domestic knockout competitions.

Domestic Football Championships

The domestic leagues and knockout competitions of some of Europe’s biggest football powers attract international attention, and are broadcast live to audiences around the world.

The English Premier League: Without a doubt, the strongest and most popular domestic league in the world. Premier League sides are packed with international talent, and the top teams in the Premier League have supporters across the globe.

The Football League Championship, frequently referred to as The Championship, is the second highest league division in England, behind the Premier League. The Championship runs concurrent to the Premier League, with clubs also participating in the Carling Cup and FA Cup.

The Bundesliga is the highest division of football in Germany. The league is the best-attended football league in the world, and the fourth best-attended domestic league in world sport. The quality of participating clubs also makes the Bundesliga one of the three most highly rated football leagues in Europe.
