歐協盃下季改制
UEFA Cup to become UEFA Europa LeagueThe UEFA Executive Committee has approved the change of name for the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League from 2009/10.
'New impetus'
The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. UEFA President Michel Platini said: "These changes will improve this historic competition, which is very important for UEFA and for European football as it gives more fans, players and clubs the thrill of European club football. I am convinced the new format will give the UEFA Europa League a successful new impetus."
Wholesale changes
The changes to the name, logo and brand identity of the competition are the next logical step following the decision to alter the format of the UEFA Cup and create a true group stage, with both home and away matches. That decision was taken by the UEFA Executive Committee in Lucerne, Switzerland, back in December 2007. The change of name better represents the format of the competition and with the enhancements to the logo and brand, the changes are such that from the 2009/10 season the UEFA Cup will effectively become a new competition.
Changing landscape
The new name and logo will help underline the tournament's special character and unique sporting appeal. The fresh format will encourage teams from emerging countries or lesser-known sides to challenge the old order, and the new identity will seek to reflect that. UEFA's ambition in making all these changes is to rejuvenate the competition in the light of the new European football landscape, which has shifted significantly with the continued success of the UEFA Champions League, so that the UEFA Europa League can establish itself as a major competition.

欧洲足联执行委员会今天通过了从2009/10赛季开始将欧洲联盟杯改名为欧洲足联欧洲联赛的决议。
新推动力
除了新的名字，这项比赛还有多项重大改变。包括欧洲足联独家享有直播权、展示广告权益和官方用球的有48支球队参加的小组赛阶段，以及有附加权益的淘汰赛阶段，新的标志和可视化元素。欧洲足联主席普拉蒂尼表示：“这些改变将提升这项传统赛事，这项赛事对于欧洲足联和欧洲足球都非常重要，它将给更多的球迷、球员和俱乐部参与欧洲俱乐部足球。我确信新的赛制将给欧洲足联欧洲联赛一个成功的新推动力。”
大规模改变
除了更改赛事名称、标志、可视化元素之外，联盟杯的赛制也将变成拥有真正的主客场制小组赛阶段，这个决议最早于2007年12月由欧洲足联执行以后在瑞士的卢森做出。新的名称将更好的代表新的赛制，也将强化这项赛事的新标志和品牌，这些改变将从2009/10赛季开始实行，届时联盟杯将完全变成一项新的赛事。
新的未来
新的赛事名称和标志将更好的体现赛事的特点和独特的体育诉求。全新的赛制将鼓励新兴国家的球队或者不知名的小球会挑战旧的秩序，新的可视化元素也将反映这一点。欧洲足联的野心是在欧洲足球的新未来中复兴这项赛事，跟随正在不断取得成功的欧洲足联冠军联赛，让欧洲足联欧洲联赛也成为一项重大赛事。
