Template:Future sport The UEFA Champions League 2010–11 will be the 56th edition of the European Club Championship football tournament and the second edition under the latest qualifying format. The venue of the final will be Wembley Stadium, London.[1]
Association team allocation
A total of 76 teams will participate in the 2010–11 Champions League, from 52 UEFA associations (Liechtenstein organizes no domestic league competition). Countries are allocated places according to their UEFA league co-efficient.
The Champions League title holder from the 2009–10 season will be guaranteed a place in the group stage, even if they do not obtain a qualifying place through their domestic league. They will do this at the expense of their association's lowest placed qualifier, who will join the UEFA Europa League as a result.
The allocation system may change slightly depending on the title holder's domestic placing.
The UEFA ranking 2009[2] will determine the allocation of places for the Europa League 2010-11. Some associations' ranking may change significantly depending on their performance in the remainder of the 2008–09 European season. As a result, the following information is incomplete.
