Conference League records: Clubs
The UEFA Conference League launched in 2021/22, making UEFA's club competitions more inclusive than ever before and giving fresh talent and rising teams the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt's first UEFA group campaign peaked with a 6-1 victory over José Mourinho's Roma, enough for the new tournament's joint biggest win until Nordsjælland beat Ludogorets 7-1 on Matchday 2 in 2023/24. Meanwhile former European champions PSV Eindhoven played out a thrilling 4-4 draw against Copenhagen – the highest-scoring Conference League game to date.

Conference League records: Players
Harry Kane scored the first Conference League hat-trick against Slovenian side Mura, but Tottenham's early exit in 2021/22 meant it was a straight shoot-out between another English striker, Tammy Abraham, and Feyenoord's Cyriel Dessers for the inaugural top scorer award.
Dessers took the honour and was the leading scorer in the competition before Arthur Cabral surpassed him at the quarter-final stage the following season. Brazilian Cabral shared the 2022/23 top scorer prize with Basel's Zeki Amdouni.
Ferdy Druijf scored the quickest goal in the Conference League to date, finding the net 32 seconds into Rapid Wien's 2-1 victory over Vitesse in the 2021/22 knockout round play-offs. Sivasspor midfielder Fredrik Ulvestad came within a second of matching that mark with the opener in a 4-3 home loss to Ballkani on 6 October 2022.
