UEFA Champions League History
The UEFA Champions League evolved out of Europe’s first major pan-European club competition, the European Cup. The inaugural European Cup was played in 1955 as a competition for the various European domestic leagues.
Over time the concept evolved to incorporate runners-up in domestic leagues as well as teams from the smallest football playing nations in Europe. The event was renamed the Champions League for the 1992-1993 season, to mark further expansion and a change in format.
