Women's EURO 2022: Game-changer. History-maker. Record-breaker.
The highlight of the sporting summer, Women's EURO 2022 was living proof of how UEFA uses its competitions to drive the game’s development. The tournament may only have lasted 26 days, but its impact on women’s football will be felt for years to come.
New Competitions, New Opportunities
The debut edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League meant more European players and clubs than ever can aspire to earning a place on the starting grid of our men’s club competitions, while the largest overhaul of the UEFA Women’s Champions League delivered an instant hat-trick of positive results: increased competitiveness, value and status.
Protecting the game's financial future
New Club Licensing and Financial Sustainability regulations – an evolution of UEFA's financial fair play – received unanimous backing from across the football community and will help to ensure the long-term viability of the European game.
Nurturing all levels of the game
Grassroots clubs, youth players, referees, coaches, doping control officers, administrators and scouts all offer first-person accounts of how UEFA's reinvestment of revenue back into development projects benefits just about everyone involved in European football.
The chance to play
By working in close collaboration with national associations and clubs, UEFA helped more than 50 members of Ukraine’s national women’s teams to resume their careers in neighbouring countries like Czechia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
