3.Convention

    
    There are other conventions in Liga Eapanola, for example Copa del Rey, Supercopa de Espana, UEFA Champions League.

    First I explain Copa del Rey. Copa del Rey is oldest convention of soccer in Spain. First of all, I explain history of Copa del Rey. In 1902, Copa de la Coronacion began. Carlos Padros who made Real Madrid proposed it. Four teams took part in it. Athletic Bilbao won the first convention. It became Copa del Rey in 1903. In 1928, Liga Espanola began, so from 1903 to 1927 Copa del Rey was main soccer convention in Spain. Next, I explain rule of it. Entry qualifications is teams of first parts,20 teams in Spain League, and second parts,22 teams, five teams of third parts. It holds from August to May when Liga Espanola is conducted. System of tournament divides into three methods. Lower round is knockout system which is one-shot deal. Best 32 round to semifinal is home and away system. Final is conducted at neutrality stadium. Winning team gets the entry right of Supercopa de Espana and UEFA Champions League.

    Second, I explain Supercopa de Espana. It is convention which is that the victory of Liga Espnola fight with the victory of Copa del Rey. If there are team wins Supercopa and Liga Espnola, the team fights with second place of Copa del Rey. It is conducted before opening game of Liga Espanola, so we know team condition this year.

      Third, I explain UEFA Champions League. It decides strongest team in Europe. First of all, I explain history of it. Gabriel Hanot who was journalist of a sports newspaper in France suggested it in 1955. Until 1992, entry teams were limited to the victory teams of domestic league. In 1997, second place teams of domestic league were able to enter it. Recently, various teams in Europe participate it. 4 teams of Liga Espanola get the entry qualifications. Next, I explain system of it. In game of qualifying, 32 teams divide into 8 groups and contends with points. The team gets three points when the team win and one point when draw, doesn’t point when lose. And, 2 teams in each groups can progress to a final tournament. In a final tournament and qualifying, home and away system is used. Final is conducted at famous stadium in Europe. The team which won the victory gets the

entry qualification of Club World Cup which decides strongest team in the world from 2005. Final is watched by 100 million people, so UEFA Champions League is famous sports event. Every year, the team which won the victory is different. Thus, many people is hard to expect its team, which is very interesting for many people.
