CHAMPIONS League Milestones


10.1 Some Milestones of the Champions League
  The Champions League grew out of the original European Champions Cup established in 1963   It was decided to introduce a new National Champions Club Championship at the LEN Bureau Meeting on 7th June 1963. The idea was suggested by Hungary   The competition, which was to be called the European Champions Cup was for clubs that had won their own national league championship in the preceding season   It was decided that the competition would not be held if fewer than 6 teams entered. In the end, 17 teams entered this first ever competition with 13 taking part. This number increased to 15 by 1965   The preliminary rounds of the 1963 Championship were organised in 2 groups- in Naples and Magdeburg. The final rounds were organised by the Yugoslavian Federation and staged in Zagreb where Partizan Belgrade was the winner. The Championship in 1965 was won by Pro Recco of Italy with Partizan, runners up, and Dinamo Magdeburg, third   On June 7th 1964, it was decided that the LEN Water Polo Committee would be responsible for establishing permanent rules for the European Champions Cup   The Yugoslavian sports review Sport presented the first cup to be presented to the winners of the competition   In 1966, Partizan Belgrade became the first team to win the trophy 3 times   By 1968, the championships were being organised in four groups, normally of 4 (or even 5 ) clubs   In 1992, the finals started to be held later in February and by 1993, the tournament entry had grown to 24 teams. By 1996, the Final Four semi finals and finals were being played in April   In 2010-11 Partizan Belgrade equalled Mladost Zagrebs seven cup victories  In 2011-12 the name of the Euro League was changed to European Champions League   In 1990-1, Mladost Zagreb won the European Cup for the seventh time   In 1982, Alphen defeated Istanbul in Paris 39-2, one of the highest scores recorded. Alphen were later themselves knocked out in the quarter finals   In the early years, the Championship was often difficult to organise. The LEN Bureau recorded at their meeting of March 26th 1976 at the Hotel Danieli Royal Excelsior in Venice that visas were refused to a Spanish team for a match in Czechoslovakia and that there had been crowd interference at games played in Civitavecchia   During the 1980s the Championship was more commonly known as the European Water Polo Cup for National Champions. Also, in the 1980s, the preliminary rounds were held between October and November with the final held at the start of December and the Super Cup Final, between the national league champions and the winners of the European Cup Winners Cup Competition, in mid December   In 1974, the number of participating clubs had grown to 19 but only 2 clubs were willing to organise the preliminary groups and a special meeting was called in September 1973 to determine the other 2 required venues. London, Sofia and Izmir came through as 3 of the 4 cities with the participating clubs meeting 50% of their accommodation costs. Partizan defeated Helsingfors 16-0 in the group stage in Sofia, at that time one of the highest number of goals scored in one match at that time
