The European Cup is one of the most influential football events in the world, attracting the attention of billions of fans around the world. As a professional sports event writer, I will introduce the latest changes of the qualification rules of the European Cup group matches in detail.
Group stage
In the European Cup group stage, 24 participating countries are divided into 6 groups, each group has 4 teams. They will play a round robin game in their respective groups, and each team will play against the other three teams.
Outgoing rule changes
What is different from the past is that the rules for qualifying in the European Cup group matches have changed in the latest session. The traditional rule of qualification is that the top two of the group will be promoted directly, but now, in addition to the top two of the group, there are also four groups with the third chance to be promoted.
The third place in the group is promoted
In order to increase the suspense and competitiveness of the game, the European Cup increased the number of the third place in the group to four teams. These four teams will be ranked and compared with the third place in other groups according to their performance in group matches.
Specifically, the third place of the group will be ranked according to the following factors:
- Points: the higher the points of the third place in the group, the higher the ranking.
- Winning goal difference: Winning goal difference refers to the difference between the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded by the team in the group match. The more goals difference, the higher the ranking.
- Number of goals: If the score and net goal of two teams are the same, the team with more goals will rank higher.
- Direct confrontation results: if the points, net goals and goals of the two teams are the same, their direct confrontation results in the group match will determine the ranking.
Progression in knockout
After the group game, the top two teams in the group will be directly promoted to the knockout stage, and the top two teams in the third place of the four groups will also be promoted.
In the knockout phase, the single match knockout system will be adopted until the champion is determined. The eight teams that are qualified will go through four 1/8 finals, then four 1/8 finals, and then two semi-finals, and finally win the championship.
ending
The latest changes in the qualification rules of the European Cup group matches have added more suspense and competitiveness to the competition. The teams will not only compete for the top two seats in the group, but also strive for the chance to advance to the third place in the group. This will make the group match more exciting and bring more surprises and fun to the fans.
Whether it is a group match or a knockout match, the European Cup is a wonderful football feast. Let's look forward to and witness this historic event together!
