The December 2007 UCFA Champions League is the 3rd edition of the Cybernations Championship Football Tournament. The 3rd season of the League introduced three new competitions, the UCFA Pre-Cup (it was featured in UCFA 2 but only experimental), the UCFA Cup (a new competition for the lower ranked teams) and the UCFA Champion Match between the UCFA Cup winner and the UCFA Champions League winner.

Even with the four UCFA competitions running at the same time, the season will still be called by the edition of the Champions League.

The final will be played in the Estadio Libertad in Costa Libertad on December 30, 2007. The Final will also feature the third-place match for the UCFA Champions League along with two new matches replacing entertainment programs, the UCFA Cup final and the UCFA Cup Third-place match.

The Arcadian Empire won the tournament beating Paranganea 1-0. Costa Libertad took 3rd place beating MacLand 3-2.

In the UCFA Cup, Dun Carrig beat Transvaal 3-2 for the win and Neo Japan defeated Ashwinder 2-1.

UCFA Pre CupEdit

The UCFA Pre-Cup is a competition organised to let the teams know each other better. The pre-cup is a single knockout tournament and is held before the main season of the UCFA Champions League.

The format of the tournament changed a bit, as the 11 nations were a difficult task to put into a single knockout competition. But a format was made, the 5 UCFA 2 nations and the 2 new nations were put into a round of 8. The team who advanced the most in last month's CL had a bye to the next round where they would face an UCFA Original in the Second Round of 8. The tournament proceeded normally.
