ECL Elite Champions League Season 4

GROUP STAGE 1

GROUP STAGE 2

KNOCK-OUT STAGE

This is an elite goalunited competition which includes 50 champions of the top 50 National Division 1 Leagues.

The start of each season is at the beginning of the new season (first Thursday).

The champions are divided into league competitions which start in 5 groups of 10 teams (Groups A, B, C, D, E) totalling maximum of 50 clubs participating in the preliminary round (group phase 1).

After 18 matches (home and away), top 3 from each of 5 groups qualify for the final tournament.

The champion from the previous season qualifies for final tournament automatically.

This means that In the final tournament competition, 16 teams play in the group phase (4 groups of 4) and then later in the knockout phase.

In the ultimate final the champion will be decided.

This competition lasts for a whole season in two turns. Manual confirmation of participation is required.

Qualifying leagues:

Ranking of nations decides qualifying leagues, Layer 1, Strength type 15. The ranking of leagues was recorded after 11th league match in the season (22.12.2022). Invitations will be sent after the 22nd league match in the current season

Rules:

One manager can only have 1 club participating in the whole competition.

If the manager has multiple champion clubs who qualified from different leagues, the manager is obligated to choose the club that is participating in GU ECL. In such a case the team he didn’t choose will play in GU Bronze League, and the team originally qualified for Bronze League (2nd placed) in that league will participate in GU ECL. In case for some reason, GU ECL or GU BL qualifiers don’t accept invitations, the spots in that league belong to teams that are next in line.

In case that manager who already participates in GU ECL holds a club who qualified for Bronze League but due to switching got the spot for GU ECL, in that case the spot qualifying for GU ECL due switching goes to next in line until GU ECL competition is properly populated.

The same is applicable vice versa in case of GU Bronze League.

If the previous GU ECL champion is also a champion in their League 1, the free spot acquired for final 16 round goes to the current champion which means that 2nd place club in that league gets a qualification spot for the preliminary round. All other applicable rules apply as well and if no ultimate replacement club can be found, GU Team reserves the right to make the ultimate decision according to fair play.

The handicap is not activated.

Matches are played 3 times per week in the group phase, Mon, Thursday and Sunday (18:00 CEST time zone). The final tournament has matches played 3 times per week on Monday, Thursday and Sunday (18:00 CEST time zone).
