CupEuropa

CupEuropa is a fictional European club football competition that appears in alternate-history literature, tabletop simulations, and various sports video games. In these works, CupEuropa is a continental tournament for clubs drawn from UEFA member associations, positioned as either a successor to or an alternative to real-world competitions such as the UEFA Europa League. The name combines the idea of a cup with the European regional scope, signaling a mid-level European club competition.

Depictions of CupEuropa commonly use a group stage followed by knockout rounds, with a final held at a neutral stadium. The exact format varies by author or game, including variations such as single-leg knockout ties or two-legged rounds, and differing numbers of participating teams.

In many narratives, CupEuropa is created to expand continental competition during periods of restructuring in European club football, often funded by sponsorships or an overarching football authority. Its prestige and level of competition are typically shown as below the top-tier Champions Cup, but above domestic cups or lower-tier continental events.

In video games and media, CupEuropa serves as a fictional alternative universe's season-long competition and can be used to reimagine European club football's hierarchy. As a fictional construct, it has no official status in real football governance.
