Does interpretation apply to your competition?
UEFA's interpreting obligations vary by competition and by stage. Select yours to see exactly where your club stands — and what the home team is responsible for.
Based on current UEFA competition regulations (2025/26–2026/27). The home club is responsible for providing a qualified interpreter with a strong knowledge of football and the technical setup. Requirements can change season to season — when in doubt, provide interpretation.

You know language services. Simultaneous interpretation is the step up.
Most clubs already work across languages every day — foreign players, foreign coaches, someone on hand to interpret at training. What European Competition Requires is simultaneous interpretation at your press conferences: live, into several languages at once, to the room and the broadcast feed, under UEFA's rules. That's a different discipline from a quick consecutive translation on the touchline.
The 20-minute rule
Post-match press conferences must begin within 20 minutes of the final whistle — with interpretation already live. No time to improvise.
The world's press pool
Away-country broadcasters, wire agencies and international media all expect to follow every press conference in real time — from the pre-match presser through to full time.
It's on the club
UEFA places the duty on the home club to provide the interpreter and the technical setup. Handle it well and you protect what matters most — your reputation in front of the world's media. Delays and fines can follow a slip too, but the message is what people remember.
Easy scan and access
Your interpretation squad, ready to start.
A complete, compliant setup that turns a regulatory obligation into a routine part of matchday — with no infrastructure to build and nothing for your comms team to carry.

UEFA interpretation, explained.
The questions comms directors ask most often when their club steps onto the European stage for the first time.
Yes. Across UEFA's senior club competitions, simultaneous interpretation at press conferences is a competition requirement — not an optional extra. The home club, not UEFA, is responsible for providing a qualified interpreter with a strong knowledge of football, along with the technical setup, at both pre-match and post-match press conferences.
The Champions League requires it at all official pre- and post-match press conferences. The Europa League and Conference League require it for all press conferences as of the knockout phase. Other competitions set their own media rules, so confirm your obligations before every fixture — the checker above links to the exact UEFA regulation for each.
The home club. UEFA regulations place the duty to provide a qualified interpreter and the necessary technical infrastructure on the club hosting the press conference — whether it's held at the stadium, the training ground or an alternate venue.
No. Interprefy uses remote simultaneous interpretation — no booths, no cabling, no on-site build. Interpreters connect online and deliver live translation into the room or the broadcast feed, while speakers and journalists access it on their own phones, tablets or laptops.
Minutes. Because the setup is remote and booth-free, you can run a compliant press conference from the stadium, the training ground or a hotel abroad. Set up once, use it everywhere, with a remote technician on standby to test and monitor on matchday.
Most clubs start with the languages of their own country and the opponent's country, plus English as a bridge language for international broadcasters. Interprefy sources qualified interpreters in 80+ languages — especially valuable for harder-to-source pairs such as Greek, Norwegian, Czech or Hungarian.
