Hello everyone. It's almost a month to the next edition of UCL in a brand new format. And with the qualifiers underway, we'll soon find out who the teams in the expanded league format will be.

Sponsorship has not been confirmed for the upcoming season, but we're working on it. Meanwhile, the format of this pool competition will also be tweaked slightly -- it may be that we have a single format resembling last season's Pot B, or it will still retain the Superbru format of Pot A, but with a much reduced share of the total prize fund.

All things considered -- there's a lot of pools to join every season, and each season there are more contests, and UCL being the youngest child still does very well to get a lot of participants despite the comparatively limited matches and prize spots -- but the prizes are big, and the prestige of UCL has no peer, am I right?

More to come. Meanwhile, enjoy the Bodoe/Glimt comeback, the Fenerbahce miracle, the brutality of Rangers, etc.
