Champions League
The Champions' League is a competition for NationStates football (soccer) clubs, currently about to start its seventh instalment. The Champions' League has traditionally been closely associated with the World Cup, and the first Champions' League started at the time of World Cup 6. It ran for three successive instalments before ceasing in the time of World Cup 12. Around World Cup 19, it was started again by Kaze Progressa, and the tournament was won by Yeaddin Owls of Vilita.
The tournament has traditionally been organised with a number of preliminary qualifying rounds, followed by a group stage with home-and-away matches - eight groups of four teams. There may then be another group stage or a knock-out. CL6 started directly with a group stage without any qualifying; however CL7 will reincorporate the qualifying rounds as well as intertwining itself with the related NSFA Cup.
