UEFA announced the quota allocation plan for the 2024 European Cup on Monday. According to the ranking of national leagues and the performance of European competitions, the quota of 24 teams participating in the European Cup was determined. Among them, the Premier League and Serie A are both likely to send 8 teams to participate in the European Cup, making history.
According to the rules of UEFA, the quota allocation of the European Cup is mainly based on two factors: the first is the European ranking of national leagues, and the second is the performance of national teams in the European Cup and the European Union Cup. The European ranking is calculated based on the points of European competitions in the past five seasons. The points of each country are the sum of the points of all its teams. The performance of European events is determined according to the results of the Champions League and Europa League in the current season. The points of each country are the sum of the points of all its teams.
Based on these two factors, UEFA has determined the quota allocation plan for the European Cup, as shown in the table below:
