Klfh Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It's quite interesting what criteria people use to define "major" =) Lets go for top 14 by population (because it's easily available on Wikipedia...): Previous CL-winning teams in parenthesis. Only EU-countries: 1. London (Chelsea) 2. Berlin 3. Madrid (Real Madrid) 4. Rome 5. Paris 6. Bucharest (Steaua Bucharest) 7. Vienna 8. Warsaw 9. Budapest 10: Prague 11. Sofia 12. Brussels 13. Stockholm 14. Amsterdam (Ajax) Missing on the list if all of European countries is considered: Moscow Kyiv Minsk Belgrade (Red star Belgrade) So a potential list of missing clubs could be: Herta BSC (Berlin) Lazio (Rome) Roma (Rome) PSG (Paris) Austria Vien (Vienna) Legia Warsaw (Warsaw) MTK Budapest (Budapest) Ferencvaros (Budapest) Ujpest (Budapest) Budapest Honved (Budapest) Sparta Prague (Prague) Levski Sofia (Sofia) Lokomotiv (Sofia) Anderlecht (Brussels) AIK (Stockholm) Djurgården (Stockholm) Hammarby (Stockholm) CSKA Moscow (Moscow) Spartac Moscow (Moscow) Dynamo Moscow (Moscow) Arsenal Kyiv (Kyiv) Dinamo Minsk (Minsk) Anyone want to go for CL with Hammarby or Ferencvaros?

I'm wanting 5 so would you go PSG, Hertha Berlin, Lazio, CSKA or Spartak Moscow, Austria or Rapid Vienna??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team from Ankara won the Turkish league they'd play in the European Cup so I'd include them. Same goes for Beitar Jerusalem. Both big cities.

Dalglish Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 16 hours ago, Spurs08 said: Got to admit it would be interesting to see a team bordering China play in the Europa on a Thursday night I think FC Kairat (from Almaty, Kazakhstan) is currently holds the record for the furthest UEFA destination (from all clubs who have qualified). FC Luch-Energia, from the Russian pacific port of Vladivostok would be the furthest journey. They're currently back in the Russian 2nd tier - so it might be some time before they will challenge for a European spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footix Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Not the biggest of capitals, but Oslo, Norway. Vålerenga is the only sensible option at the moment, although you could go lower league and play with Lyn or Skeid. Or KFUM if they're even in the game.
