UEFA Europa League: List of all winners

Sevilla are the most successful team in the competition in recent years.

The UEFA Europa League, often overshadowed by its glamorous sibling, the Champions League, has carved its niche in European football history. Originally known as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (1955-1971) and later the UEFA Cup (1971-2009), the competition has witnessed a rich tapestry of clubs and legendary figures battle it out for continental glory.

The Europa League’s rich history is a testament to its importance in the European football landscape. It provides a platform for clubs to showcase their talent, create lasting memories, and etch their names on the European football stage.

From the early days of English dominance to the current era of Spanish supremacy, the Europa League has provided a platform for clubs across Europe to battle for continental glory.

The early years

The 1970s saw English dominance in the competition’s early years as the Fairs Cup transitioned into the UEFA Cup. Teams like Arsenal (1970), Leeds United (1968), and Newcastle United (1969) lifted the trophy, showcasing the attacking prowess of English football.  However, the decade also saw the likes of Barcelona (1966) and Dinamo Zagreb (1967) etching their names on the trophy, reminding everyone of the competition’s continental flavor.

A new era dawns

The 1990s saw the competition evolve further. With the introduction of the Champions League in 1992, the UEFA Cup became a stepping stone for ambitious clubs to compete on the European stage. Teams like Parma (1995) and Schalke 04 (1997) used the Europa League as a springboard to announce themselves as forces to be reckoned with.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit all of the past champions.
