While EURO 2024 has not yet ended, the 2024-2025 Champions League has already begun with preliminary round matches. The qualifying round still follows the old format, with the final tickets to be determined by the end of August.
But this season, the draw ceremony has received more attention, when UEFA officially changed the number and format of the organization. Removing the group stage and increasing the number from 32 to 36, of course, the way the draw is also made fans more interested.
There will be no more group stage with each group of four teams playing home and away. Instead, each team will play eight opponents drawn at random from four seeding pots, with each team having four home and four away games, also arranged randomly using technology.
That is the first attractive detail for fans to know who their favorite team's opponent is, which lands their team will have the opportunity to visit, how strong their opponents will be...
UEFA promises this season will have many new points and many good matches instead of being just formalities like in the old group stage...
