UEFA European Football Forum

After a lot of trials I finally managed to generate the 144 fixtures split among the 8 matchdays . In general it doesn’t seem possibile to strictly fullfill all requirements regarding calendar order . This is why Uefa in the regulations also says “ in principle “ . It looks like we can’t guarantee a ...

While playing around a little with your option 2, I'd say this is off the table. I'm just a hobby coder, not a software engineer, but I wonder if someone will really have an idea how to prevent deadlocks by fail safe code, not just but heuristic try and error. Option 1 is basically just the same as ...

So after reading the full very interesting thread here and trying it out myself , I came to the conclusion that the draw is more challenging than the previous years , not because of contrains , but mostly because we need not only to draw teams pairings but also ensure fixtures can be generated (home ...

Just read against the Uefa regulations for the draw and they are quite “fluffy” Some interesting points are the following : 16.02: The opponents of each team, as well as whether each match is played at home or away, are determined by means of a draw. In principle, teams from the same association can ...

I apologize if it has already been mentioned , but do we have a full list of requirements for the League stage ? Like teams from same country can’t face each other ( unless there are 5 or more and it is strictly needed ) Then I can think about teams not able to play more than 2 home or away matches i ...

I tried to check if it was easy enough to find out all the valid sets of 144 matches (with the assumption that seeded clubs of qualifiers will be at LP) even if computer needed much time to find them. My plan was to do this at 3 steps. The first step was easy enough since I only needed to remove ...

Some time ago I wrote a python code to create fixtures for teams from the same pot . I used ChatGPT to be honest but the logic was simple and the code was fast You just need to know team names and their country code . Then you create a duplicated list which is exactly the same as the first one . Now ...

I have been working on a simulation tool to create League Phase fixtures taking into account all requirements and constrains. Avoiding dead ends or deadlock situations is of course really important, but also very heavy from a computational point of view. I finally solved the problem as followed (and ...

In order to improve their country ranking, each Association should be aiming for the following: -) Ensure that teams qualified for european competitions are the strongest in the league -) Ensure that teams qualified for european football have the highest possible Club Coefficient in order to be ...

According to Opta, Atalanta has 39% chance to finish5th. But bookamkers have a different opinion. Before Europa League final the odds for Atalanta-Torino were 50%-24%-26%, after the final the suddenly dropped to 27%-28%-45% So bookies imply that Atalanta has nothing to play for, but from a money ...

Milan is also mathematically qualified for the UCL next season, since it can´t finish below 5th ( Atalanta and Roma are facing each other on May 12th)

I simulated UCL season 24/25 considering only teams which are currently projected to qualify to the League Phase. I then compared the Uefa Country Points for the next season to the ones of the last 3 seasons with the current format (including current one) Those are the average Uefa Country Points ...
