Los menores premios hacen que frecuentemente, los equipos grandes no convoquen a sus mejores jugadores para los partidos iniciales, lo que disminuye el interés de la competición.[Last year [2007], all 40 teams that started the competition shared out 40.3 million euros, a derisory amount compared to the at least 588.6 million euros for the 32 clubs participating in the Champions League, according to UEFA data. The lower prize money often means that the big teams do not call up their best players for the opening matches, which reduces the interest in the competition.]
It is the new third-tier of European competition, below the Champions League and the Europa League. [...] And the UEFA Europa Conference League is the minor competition primarily for those who qualify by league place though it will also include the cup winners from lower-ranked leagues.
Whereas Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern Munich once competed for the trophy, now the likes of Real Betis, Roda and Duisburg were representing those leagues instead – not as domestic cup winners, but runners-up. On one occasion, a semi-finalist – Heerenveen – was invited to compete, as the two KNVB Cup finalists had already qualified for the Champions League. [...] In all, the Cup Winners' Cup was contested on 39 occasions. Eight reigning champions fell at the final hurdle in their title defence, although a further eight did not even compete in the tournament the following season. The first number illustrates why so many fans fell in love with this enigmatic competition, although the second explains why the curtain was finally brought down on it.
Ten teams eliminated from the UEFA Europa League play-offs will qualify for the new UEFA Europa Conference League group stage from 2021/22.
