UEFA Club Competition Landscape 2019/20 THE UEFA CLUB COMPETITION LANDSCAPE Benchmarking the clubs qualified and licensed to compete in the UEFA competition season 2019/20 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the first edition of the UEFA Club Competition Landscape Report. The report takes you along the various qualification routes beginning at the domestic cups and leagues to the 237 clubs that have eventually qualified for this season’s UEFA competitions qualifying phases. Furthermore, the report then shines a detailed spotlight on the 80 clubs who will take part in this season’s group stages. Produced by UEFA’s Intelligence Centre, the publication is packed with bitesize data and analysis. It shows comparisons between these clubs and highlights top performers, both in terms of on-field performance and off-the-pitch benchmarks. These include club finances, club ownership and sponsorship, head coaches, social media and stadiums. The report is short and snappy, with infographics telling the story of how the 80 clubs qualified (almost one third qualified only on the last day of the season), illustrating how they compare, and highlighting global trends. With all analysis performed in-house, the Intelligence Centre is highly agile and constantly monitors topical trends, so the report already includes insights on this summer’s transfer activity just days after the transfer window closed.

Standard de Liège. Previous meetings • Alan made the breakthrough on 36 minutes when the sides met for the first time on matchday one, but Jonatan Soriano stole the show with a 35-minute hat-trick in a 4-0 win for Salzburg – the fourth fastest treble in the competition. Steven Gerrard's 13-minute hat-trick for Liverpool FC against SSC Napoli in November 2010 remains the quickest. • That encounter was Elfsborg's first meeting with Austrian opposition and Salzburg's first encounter with a Swedish side. • This will be the 19th game between men's clubs from Austria and Sweden in UEFA competition; Austrian teams have had marginally the better of the previous 18, with the record W9 D3 L6.

The observed transformation of football clubs into business entities, introducing licensed access criteria to football events by the Union of European Football Associations and national football associations bring new challenges to football clubs. Facing these challenges requires taking actions that ensure a good and stable economic condition. In this respect, this study concerns a valid and important problem of general financial and assets situation of football clubs participating in the Polish Ekstraklasa events. The following research methods have been used to achieve the assumed research goal: descriptive, comparative, subject literature analysis, legal acts analysis and index analysis of financial statements. The index analysis has been focused on the assessment of liquidity, debt and profitability of the analysed football clubs, considering the threats to the continuation of their activity. The obtained results gave a specific profile of activity, in a financial approach. The insight into financial statements in terms of liquidity, debt and profitability also highlighted the reservations concerning the financial condition in a large group of the analysed entities.

  • Uefa Europa League
    UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - 2017/18 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Östersund Arena - Ostersund Thursday 15 February 2018 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Östersunds FK Round of 32, First leg Arsenal FC Match background 2 Legend 4 1 Östersunds FK - Arsenal FC Thursday 15 February 2018 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Östersund Arena, Ostersund Match background There is a touch of footballing romance in the air as European debutants Östersund, led by unsung English coach Graham Potter, entertain the Premier League aristocrats of Arsenal in the first leg of the round of 32. • The Swedish side have already played a dozen matches in their maiden European adventure, qualifying as the runners-up of Group J behind Athletic Club – and only on head-to-head records after both amassed 11 points. Arsenal, meanwhile, cruised through their first UEFA Europa League group stage, clinching top spot in Group H with a game to spare. Previous meetings • The two clubs have never met in European competition, and Östersund have yet to face opposition from England. • Arsenal have posted three wins and a draw in their four encounters with Swedish opponents. In each season that they have faced a team from Sweden, they have gone on to reach a European final – and lose it on penalties after a goalless draw. • The Gunners defeated IFK Göteborg 5-1 on aggregate in the 1979/80 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals en route to losing the final on spot kicks to Valencia in Brussels. Twenty years later they were shoot-out sufferers once again against Galatasaray in Copenhagen in the final of the UEFA Cup, having beaten AIK home (3-1, with Fredrik Ljungberg among the Gunners' scorers) and away (3-2) in the UEFA Champions League first group stage.
