Following is a thorough and detailed list of all teams ever to have participated in the European competitions organized by UEFA (I disregard the so called Super Cup, which has a quite different competition format). The arrangement of these teams is not done on an alphabetical basis, since I prefer to group them by countries (although each one, this time, has a traditional A to Z order and, in some cases like Germany, Russia, Yugoslavia, and the newborn Soviet and Balkan republics, I include all the political territories a team played for). From the corresponding link of each country you can access to the list of its participating teams, which includes the following data for every club: 1) team's name in Spanish, together with links to the club's official (PO) or unofficial (PNO) websites; 2) official team's name in its original language (or a transcription in Roman characters), together with changes of name during the history of Eurocups, including mergers with other clubs; 3) city/-ies where it plays regularly; 4) participations in Champions League (C1); 5) participations in the late Cup Winners' Cup (C2); 6) participations in UEFA Cup (C3); 7) participations in Intertoto Cup (Intertoto).
Mergers and changes of name considered, up to 2001-02 season (included) as many as 774 teams have participated in European competitions. On the other hand, I include links to 769 Web sites of these teams (564 Official Pages and 205 Unofficial Pages), in which as many as 38 languages are used. Together with a team's common name in Spanish, I include its original official name (in blue) together with other relevant information about it. If you're further interested in learning more about the system I've used for the Spanish transcription, take a look at some explanatory notes and edition criteria (sorry, only in Spanish for the time being!).
*Note: Up to November 2001, all the following links are active or about to be activated (new official sites just created). I've tried to compile the greatest number of official Web pages whenever possible, or at least unofficial pages with a certain standard of quality and information. Sometimes it may be the case that I include an official page of the team together with one or several unofficial pages of it, but this is only when the latter add more information, statistics, or data about the club. Whenever a teams has only unofficial pages, I include as many of them as possible (in case they're informative enough). I do not expressly include pages run by ultra groups or other associations that propagate violent contents or subjects other than football in itself.
I've spent the last weeks surfing the Net to collect all these links, and I believe I've done a good job (I've practiced my knowledge, bigger or smaller, of all those 37 languages and learnt a very interesting football vocabulary!). My sources have been football directories, domestic leagues, and cross-links among teams. I sincerely think that the following list is the most complete and up-to-date collection of Web sites for teams participating in Eurocups (other clubs are not included, although, of course, they represent a significant bulk of the football pages you can find in the Net). I hope you can find now all that first-hand information about your team's rival that you were looking for.
