Domestic League Competitive Balance and UEFA Performance

This paper investigates the relationship between European football league competitive balance and the performance of that league’s participants in UEFA competitions in that year. The evidence suggests that competitive balance measured using performance points fits the performance coefficients of countries participating in the Champions League and Europa League and that a reciprocal model fits the data best. The evidence suggests that marginal improvements in competitive balance can lead to increase of one-third a win for a league’s participants in the Champions League. The increased rewards for UEFA success suggest that policies that promote competitive balance have both public and private benefits for clubs.
