Chelsea has the opportunity to become the first club to win all of UEFA's club competitions past and present by winning the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League. With previous victories in the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup, and the defunct Cup Winners' Cup, Enzo Maresca's side is heavily favored to lift the trophy this season. This historic achievement would solidify the club's status in European football and showcase their continuous growth in the competitive landscape.
Chelsea's fixture list for the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League has been confirmed, starting with a home tie against Belgian side Gent just before the October international break. The club's intriguing matches include a home game versus Armenian outfit Noah, marking their first foray into European competition. With a strong record and a full slate of fixtures ahead, Chelsea aims to navigate through to the knockout stages.
The draw revealed Chelsea's six opponents, including a significant fixture against Panathinaikos in Greece and a visit to Bundesliga side Heidenheim at the end of November. Chelsea will complete their league phase matches with encounters against Kazakhstani side Astana and Irish champions Shamrock Rovers. Only the top eight teams from this format will progress directly to the knockout stages, highlighting the importance of each fixture for Chelsea's campaign.
As all 36 teams compete in a singular league table, Chelsea's strategy will be essential to secure a top eight finish. The league phase will see the Blues' away match against Astana kicking off at 15:30 UK time on December 12, followed by their final game at Stamford Bridge. The success in this league format will be paramount for Chelsea to continue their journey in the tournament.
