An event that needs no introduction has occurred in European football — England will become the first country to send six teams to the UEFA Champions League in the 2025/26 season. This result was officially confirmed following situations related to the Europa League final.
Ranking position — a guarantee of multiple entries
Based on the overall points ranking of UEFA's club coefficients, it became clear that England would not drop below second place by the end of the season. This means that, according to regulations, this country will receive an additional fifth entry.
Thus, the team that finishes in fifth place in the Premier League will also be able to participate in the qualifying round of the Champions League for the 2025/26 season. This result will further intensify the competition in the championship.
Through the Europa League — another path
In the final of the continent's second-tier competition — the Europa League — two more English clubs, “Manchester United” and “Tottenham,” will face each other. The winner of this final will automatically receive an entry into the group stage of next season's Champions League.
Interestingly, these two teams are currently in a position where they cannot reach the top spots in the Premier League, and for them, winning in the Europa League is considered the last opportunity to qualify for the Champions League.
Abduqodir Husanov and “City”’s chances have increased
Currently, Uzbek footballer Abduqodir Husanov is playing for “Manchester City.” He has set qualifying for the Champions League as his main goal with the team. Guardiola's disciples are currently in third place in the Premier League.
The format with 6 English teams participating expands “City”’s chances even further. This situation opens up great opportunities not only for English clubs but also for Uzbek players.
The editorial team of Zamin.uz considers this event one of the important milestones in the history of English football. The increase in the number of Champions League entries will further intensify competition among Premier League clubs and create a foundation for more entertaining matches
