Champions League (C1 Cup) 2023/24 competition format
To ensure fairness and attractiveness for the tournament, UEFA has introduced many changes in the competition format of the 2023/24 Champions League. Here are the new things you’ll have to pay attention to:
Increase the number of participating teams:
The number of teams participating in the Champions League will be increased from 32 teams to 36 teams, including teams from 15 different football alliances in the UEFA region. This will provide opportunities for many new teams to participate and create a more diverse and attractive tournament season.
Using VAR:
VAR (Video Assistant Referee) will be applied in all Champions League matches from the group stage to the final. This helps make decisions in the match more fair and accurate, while avoiding unnecessary controversies.
Changes to the away goals rule:
According to the new away goals rule, if two teams lead after two matches, the team that scores the most away goals will advance. However, if there is still an equal number of away goals, it will go to extra time and to a penalty shootout if there are still no goals scored. This will create more balance in deciding which team goes forward.
