UEFA Cup rebranded as Europa League




"The UEFA Cup will be renamed the Europa League from next season in an effort to boost the popularity of the ailing competition.

The new-look league will also be extended to include 48 clubs in 12 groups of four, with teams playing each other home and away as opposed to just once as it stands now.

The winner and runner-up in each group then join the eight teams that drop out of the Champions League in a 32-club knock-out stage."

I do not see how renaming it will boost its popularity. Champions League will always be the more popular because of the big clubs playing in it
