Chelsea have been recognised by UEFA for becoming the first club in history to win all four of the governing body’s major competitions.
The London club received a special award on Thursday during the Champions League group stage draw in Monaco, following their UEFA Conference League triumph in May, where they defeated Real Betis 4-1 in Wrocław.
The victory completed Chelsea’s collection of the Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup, and the Conference League, a clean sweep never before achieved by any club.
UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin presented the award to Chelsea officials at the ceremony, describing the achievement as unique in European football history.
Chelsea’s continental honours now include:
*2 Champions League titles (2012, 2021)
*2 Europa League titles (2013, 2019)
*2 Cup Winners’ Cups (1971, 1998)
*2 UEFA Super Cups (1998, 2021)
*1 UEFA Conference League (2025)
This landmark triumph cements Chelsea’s place as the only club to secure every major UEFA competition trophy.
