The next article will describe various football tournaments and review who has been effective in them.
The largest club football tournament is undoubtably in Europe and it happens every year, so watchers always get their fair share of spectacular soccer. Just the best football teams can get through this contest, which is no great shock considering it is called the Champions League. Clubs are not picked out for this competition, they have to be eligible, nevertheless this also varies dependent upon what nation the club club is coming from. For example, the English and Spanish leagues both receive four positions in the tournament, so the sides that finish up first, second, third and 4th all gain access to the next tournament. Clubs from lesser footballing countries such as Ukraine don't get so many spots, sometimes only a couple of. The way this procedure is determined is through how much success a nations team clubs have in the tournament, so if English clubs did badly in Europe for a long time, they may lose a place in the competition. One of the most effective teams in the tournament’s historical past is from Italy, although the country has not had an awful lot fortune of late as it has been controlled by the Spanish clubs. The AC Milan owner will intend to turn these fortunes around shortly and have the success the team had in the 90’s once again.
Not all clubs can qualify for the most esteemed competitions, sometimes just based on their location, but there is one division which contains the teams that finish just below the top clubs in the largest leagues. The quality in this league is still very high, particularly as some of the clubs that do not make it out of the leading tournament teams then enter this second tournament. There are many clubs competing in the cup that most individuals would not have heard of as they come from rather obscure nations, in sporting terms a minimum of, but the diversity of football leagues involved is one of the unusual features of the competition. The FK QarabaÄŸ owner controls a team that lots of people would not have heard of, yet it is interestingly competitive.
The earliest football contest in the world, which is in fact older than any national football league, is the primary cup competition in England and Wales. The tournament clearly only consists of English and Welsh clubs, but it's unique in the fact that every single team side in the nation can compete in it. The leading division teams only join the tournament in what is called the third round, but it is in fact much later than that. It is virtually hard for any non-professional soccer league teams to win the tournament but there are frequently large upsets which are known as 'giant killings'. The Arsenal owner has the accolade of owning the club to have won the most FA cups, which stands at 13.
