My aim is to go on a travelbug tour and visit the home of all previous UEFA cup winners
UEFA is a representative democracy, comprised of 53 national football associations, and is itself recognised by FIFA as one of six continental federations. The organisation of the administration of football is based on a pyramid system of regulations, with FIFA the world governing body, UEFA the European governing body and national football associations the governing bodies at domestic level.
The UEFA Champions League trophy
It is 62cm tall, weighs 7.5kg and cost CHF10,000 (€6,800) to make. "It may not be an artistic masterpiece," said the maker of the UEFA Champions League trophy, "but everybody in football is keen to get their hands on it."
Sixth trophy
The current trophy is the sixth, dating back to 2006. Nowadays, UEFA regulations allow the cup to become the property of any club which wins the competition five times or three years in a row. That means Real Madrid CF, AFC Ajax, FC Bayern München, AC Milan and, since 2005, Liverpool FC all have an original in their trophy rooms.
New design in 1966
The trophy that the winning captain will lift at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome 2009 is the fifth version of the current design. After the original had been handed to Madrid in 1966, UEFA's General Secretary, Hans Bangerter, decided to create a new design and called in a local specialist in Berne, Jürg Stadelmann.
