The current format of the Europa League was born in 2009 with the aim of making the tournament more competitive and attractive, but its beginnings date back to 1971. At first, the Fairs Cup, the future Europa League, was conceived as a alternative to the European Cup Winners’ Cup until it finally ended up replacing it. Following the absorption, the tournament was renamed the UEFA Cup. In the end, the competition became part of the Intertoto Cup in 2009 and gave rise to what is now known as the Europa League.
