Is the UEFA Football Confederation Cup the same cup as the UEFA Cup?

There is no UEFA Cup. Only the UEFA Cup (renamed UEFA Europa League).

The history of the UEFA Europa League can be traced back to the City Fair Cup, which began in 1955. The European Fairs Cup was officially formed on 18 August 1955, exactly two weeks after the European Champions Cup. The first edition of the Fairs Cup included teams from Barcelona, Basel, Birmingham, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Lausanne, London, Milan and Zagreb.

1971 In the 1972 season, UEFA took over the Fair Cup and created the Confederations Cup on its basis.

From the 1999 to 2000 season, the Cup Winners' Cup, which was also one of the three major European cups, was merged into the League Cup, and the winners of the domestic cups also qualified for the League Cup.

On 26 September 2008, the UEFA Executive Board decided to change the UEFA Cup to UEFA Europa League starting from the 2009 2010 season. At the same time, some rules have been changed, and the group stage has been expanded to 48 clubs, just like in the Champions League, where each club will play six games in the group stage, which means two home and away games against the other three opponents in the same group. The qualifying rounds have also been expanded to three rounds of qualifying rounds (excluding play-offs) and more teams will participate in the qualifying rounds.

The number of teams has increased from 101 to 133, an increase of 32 teams.

UEFA Cup (UEFA Cup): Top teams in the domestic leagues of a UEFA member state, winners of the top domestic cups and defending champions (winners of the previous UEFA Cup). The number of teams sent by each country is based on the ranking coefficient of the country's league in the European Football Association

Higher-ranked countries can send more teams to the tournament. In addition, there are three places for fair play teams in the first round, and the three winners of the Tutu Cup final and the team that lost in the third round of the Champions League will be able to enter the third round. The third place finishers from each group in the Champions League group stage will join the competition in the fifth round.

Not before, in the past, only those real champions could participate in the European Champions Cup, so there were fewer teams, and the top few places in the league were all participating in the League Cup, so the weight of the League Cup was still quite heavy, Maradona's only European result in Nablos was the League Cup, and the Cup Winners' Cup was only participated in by the Cup champions.
