Chelsea

Chelsea Football Club received a special award from UEFA on Thursday, August 28, 2025, during the Champions League draw in Monaco. The recognition came after the Blues became the first club in history to win all four of UEFA’s major competitions.

Historic UEFA Achievement

The award follows Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League triumph in May 2025, where they defeated Real Betis 4-1 in Wrocław.

That victory completed their collection of the Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup, and the newly established Conference League.

UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin personally presented the award to Chelsea representatives at the ceremony, describing the feat as a “unique and remarkable achievement.”

Chelsea’s European Trophy Record

Chelsea’s European success now includes:

  • Two Champions League titles (2012, 2021)
  • Two Europa League titles (2013, 2019)
  • Two Cup Winners’ Cups (1971, 1998)
  • Two UEFA Super Cups (1998, 2021)
  • The Conference League title (2025)

This record confirms Chelsea as the first team ever to complete a clean sweep of UEFA’s major club trophies.

Significance of the Award

The recognition highlights Chelsea’s consistency on the European stage across different eras. From their first Cup Winners’ Cup in 1971 to their latest Conference League victory, the club has shown resilience and adaptability in Europe’s toughest competitions.

As UEFA continues to expand its tournaments, Chelsea’s historic sweep sets a new benchmark for success. For fans, it is a moment of pride, while for rivals, it underscores the scale of the London club’s legacy in European football.
