Premier league, which was a fantastic achivement back in 2000. They also had all of the best legends like Theiry Henry, who was very good for Arsenal and Dennis Berkamp was a good legend and he used to do the best shots for Arsenal. They also had 49 unbeated games in the premier league which started at the 2002/2003 season and ended in the 2004/2005 season.

Football leagues

There are many leagues in the UK and the world. but in this project we will be mainly focusing on the English leagues and how fascinating they are.The most well- known league is probably the premier league. There are 20 teams, that are all competing to win the trophy. The teams who have the most points at the end of the season, wins the premier league. The premier league is by far the most anticipated and exciting league in the world,as you don't know who will win the league. In other leagues like the Laliga Santander everyone knows that the big teams will win like Barcelona and real Madrid and the small teams have no chance.However in the premier league anything can happen. A small team that is not that good can beat a very successful team and cause lots of hype.

As well as this, the most favourite league is the premier league, is the English leagues

You probably know about the premier leagues highest goalscorers and the teams with the most titles. After 25 years of premier league football - the new-look English top-flight was introduced in the summer of 1992 - we all know the basics.What you DON'T know is which players have scored penalties with both feet, which goalkeeper has five assists or which player has nearly as many premier leagues medals as appearances..Ryan Giggs has been substituted more times than any other player.Mario Balotelli ’s only assist in the premier league was for Sergio Balotelli ’s title-winning goal vs QPR.Bale is the one of the three above to also get a yellow card in the same game.Man United have never lost a premier league game at Old Trafford in which they have been ahead at half-time.2015/16 was the first time West Ham had recorded a positive goal difference in a top-flight season since 1985/86.Newcastle United won 34 points from losing positions in 2001/02; the most by a team in a single premier league season. It was also the same number of points that they won in total when relegated seven years later.

The Bundesliga is the highest level of professional football in Germany. The league was founded in its current format in 1963 and today is comprised of 18 teams. The composition of teams changes every season through a process of relegation with the second division of German football, the 2. Bundesliga. In the 2014/15 season, the total revenue of the bundesliga was at 2.62 billion euros. The games were attended by an average of 43.5 thousand spectators in the 2014/15 season, the highest average attendance amongst the top European football leagues.

TRANSFER NEWS

Last year nearly 15,000 international transfers of professional football players took place across the world - and each one of those moves has a nine-step process that must be followed in order to be sanctioned by Fifa's international  matching system.While the January transfer window has been underwhelming thus far, you can be sure managers up and down the country will be readying their fountain pens and keeping their mobiles firmly charged as deadline day approaches.

Step 1

The buying club must approach the selling club with details of the player they want to buy/loan and for how much money.

Step 2

Once those terms have been agreed, the association representing the selling club (e.g. the FA) must confirm the player's identity in the ITMS.

Step 3

Once that confirmation is in place, Fifa will allow the process to continue.

Step 4

The association representing the buying club requests an international Transfer Certificate (ITC) from the selling club's association.

Step 5

The selling club's association either delivers the ITC or rejects the request.

Step 6

If delivered the buying association must then enter the player's registration date in the ITMS.

Step 7

The player becomes eligible to play for his new club

Step 8 his new club

completes payment to the selling club and uploads receipts to the itms.

step 9 then the transfer is complete

world's richest clubs

This year, Manchester United became the first club to surpass a £500 million turnover, which was enough to deny Real Madrid of their top spot on the list for the 12th year running.Not much has changed in the long run, though, the League's top three clubs have remained the same since Deloitte launched the study 20 years ago, in 1997.Deloitte estimates that due to record television contacts, all Premier League clubs will be in the top 30 by next year.

Leicester — £128.7 million. Last season, Leicester City FC rocked the world when they were crowned champions of the British Premier League for the first time in their 132-year club history. The Foxes' historic victory sent them hurtling into the top 20 this year — their £128.7 million is five times greater than their 2013/14 season just two years ago.

Inter Milan — £134 million. 'Internazionale' retained their place in the top 20, which they've been in since records began. Milan's second richest team have been similarly reliable in Seria A — having played continuously in Italy's top-flight since the club's inception in 1909. Their time in the Money League could be coming to an end, though, as rising Premier League revenues threaten to send them tumbling out of the list next year.

West Ham — £143.8 million. Despite ongoing disputes with club superstar Dimitri Payet, club form has helped the Hammers break into Deloitte's ranking. Their acquisition of the Olympic Stadium — now London Stadium — will undoubtedly increase earnings next year.

Champions league

Real Madrid have the record number of consecutive participations in the European Cup, taking part in the first 15 tournaments from 1955–56 to 1969–70. They won the first five editions of the competition, and they are the most successful team in the competition's history with 9 wins.Manchester United have the record number of consecutive participations in the UEFA Champions League with 17 from 1996–97 to 2012–13, with Real Madrid having participated in 16 consecutive campaigns from 1997–98 to 2012–13 and Arsenal in 15 consecutive campaigns from 1998–99 to 2012–13.The record for consecutive semifinals is six, held by Barcelona (2007–08 to 2012–13).Only 3 clubs have won the UEFA Champions League fielding local players – Celtic (1967), Real Madrid (1966) and FC Steaua Bucarest (1986).

The fastest UEFA Champions League goal was scored 10.2 seconds after kick-off by Bayern Munich’s Roy Makaay against Real Madrid in 2007.Nottingham Forest have an unusual feat of having won the UEFA Champions League more often than they have won their domestic league.Celtic are the only club to have the distinction of completing a ‘quadruple’ winning both domestic cups, the domestic league and the UEFA Champions League in the 1966/1967 season.In 2006 Arsenal produced the best defensive effort in the history of the UEFA Champions League, going 10 games without conceding a goal.English teams were banned from the UEFA Champions League between 1986 and 1991 following a series of stadium disasters and hooliganism problems. The absence of English teams gave three teams the opportunity to win the tournament for the first time following a decade of English dominance – PSV Eindhoven, Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucarest all won the title before England returned to the UEFA Champions League fold in 1991.

Juventus are the most unfortunate team in the champions league history, they dominated European football in 70's and 80's but only won 1 European cup in 85-86. And that victory was more bitter than sweet due to the Heysel stadium disaster tragedy, when 39 Juventus fans died due to fan hooliganism, mostly because of Liverpool supporters.

Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Ajax, Liverpool, Manchester United, Internazionale, Juventus, Benfica, Porto, Nottingham Forest are considered traditional giants of Europea

Of course, the more first-timers there are, the fewer there are left, too.

A total of 32 teams competed in the 20th edition of the biggest international soccer tournament in the world. Brazilian squads have won the world cup so far, winning the tournament five times. At all World Cups combined, including the 2014 edition, a total of 2739 goals have been scored.. The average attendance in World Cup history stands at 45 thousand. Almost 38 million spectators have watched a World Cup game live at a stadium in total..total cost for the 2014 edition of the world cup will amount to more than 10 billion us dollars according to figures published by the Brazilian government in September 2013. This includes expenditure for stadium construction and renovation, urban mobility projects, upgrades at airports, public security and military defence forces, port infrastructure, telecommunications networks and services, complimentary work for Confederations Cup and tourism infrastructure projects. The 64 games of the World Cup in 2014 were played at 12 different stadiums across Brazil. The Estádio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro has the greatest capacity with seats for more than 76 thousand spectator

The national team from Brazil is the only squad that has participated in all of the FIFA World Cup tournaments so far. Germany and Italy have participated for the eighteenth time in a World Cup in 2014. Spain, which was one of the favored teams to win the World Cup at the beginning of the tournament, did not advance past the group stage despite sending the most valuable roster to Brazil. All 23 Spanish players combined have a total market/transfer value of more than 600 million euros. Lionel Messi of Argentina, who won the Golden ball award for best player of the tournament, was the player with the highest individual market value at 120 million euros

Euros

The second most popular football tournament is of course the European Championship organised by UEFA. Straight after the FIFA World Cup, the qualifications start of a Euro Cup. Although the Euro 2016 is going to be a memorable one, Euro 2020 will be a very special one since the tournament will exist 60 years! Yes, the first Euro was organised in 1960 in France! For the first time in Euro history, the tournament will be hosted in multiple European cities!(There is a cool fact right there!). Okay, to go back to the Euro 2016! The tournament kick-off is on June 10 and ends on July 10. Okay, so did you know:Since Euro 1996, there is a total of 16 teams participating in Europe’s biggest football tournament. Finally 5 Euro’s later, we will finally witness 24 teams! That’s an increase of 8 teams! To compare: the 1994 FIFA World Cup that was won by Brazil also contained 24 teams! This also means that the Round of 16 will make its introduction in Euro 2016, For the first time 16 teams will advance to the second round, the 2 top teams of each group and the 4 best third place teams. The tournament is going to be pretty big with many new European teams the world will see in action.

All 53 UEFA members  (excluding France) entered the qualification stage. Gibraltar is the only team that has never entered the qualification stage before. Gibraltar applied for full UEFA membership and was finally accepted by the UEFA Congress in May 2013. Gibraltar is the smallest UEFA member in terms of population, which is around 30,000. The nation however is not a full FIFA member so they can’t qualify for a FIFA World Cup (yet).European countries had a deadline of March 9 2009 to place a bid for hosting Euro 2016. Many countries were interested like Scotland, Wales, Russia and the Republic of Ireland. Eventually 5 countries placed an official bid: France (April 18 2007), Italy (March 2 2009), Turkey (February 7 2009), Norway and Sweden (February 26 2009). Norway and Sweden placed their bid as a joint bid, but they withdrew in December 2009 due to lack of political support in both countries. Of these 5 countries, only Turkey has never hosted a Euro or World Cup.

In Round 1 of the voting process 13 members of the UEFA Executive Committee ranked the 3 bids first, second, and third. First place ranking received 5 points, second place 2 points, and third place 1 point. France received 43 points, Turkey 38 points and Italy 23 points.

In the second and last Round of the voting process, the same 13-member committee had to vote for France or Turkey. France received 7 votes and Turkey 6 votes. On May 28 2010 it was announced that France would be the hosts of Euro 2016.It will be the 3rd  time that France will host the European Championship, after the very first edition of the Euro in 1960 and Euro 1984. France is the first country to host the tournament 3. times. In 1984 France won the tournament on home soil by defeating Spain with 2-0. This was the second and last time so far a country won the tournament on home soil. The first time was Italy in Euro 1968.
