::::::::::And yes there is who can say FA Cup Titles. [https://www.transfermarkt.com/footballs-oldest-competition-the-teams-with-the-most-fa-cup-titles-of-all-time/view/news/431992 lije here] or [https://news.williamhill.com/football/fa-cup/top-five-most-successful-clubs/ here] (used at least 4 times in the articles).
::::::::::I stick with major competition like previous given definition or [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/title this] unless a better one is given and that is widely accepted by people and media.

:::::::::::One (usually) has to be a winner first to earn the title of champion. And being named 'championship' for the competition probably came after the first champions so I don't think it's important. Because, one doesn't even have to be competing in sport to be a champion - one can be a human rights or animal welfare champion for example. This is the etymological root of the word - [https://www.etymonline.com/word/champion someone who fights on behalf of another or a cause]. In my archaic way of looking at things, this is the prestigiousness of 'the title' that I talk of.
:::::::::::And still IMO, there shouldn't be more than one Champion (at least in the same class/weight/category/gender/age awarded by a governing body in a sporting discipline. Champions are the ones who represent and define their sport, that's what the competition was for! Now I may sound like contradicting myself, I guess there's no reason why an amateur football side can't be champions of their local league, however only if the local league promoter are the one's to declare the title. If it's not official I don't think it counts - else there's justification for Hamilton being called F1 Champion 2021 if anybody can bestow the title of 'champion'. On that thought, trusted media sources can put what they want to write about titles, and they are free to disagree with me or just be wrong as they often are, as we all can be.
:::::::::::Officially the Champions League and the Europa League do not have champions or titles awarded, just a team that wins the final, but they do have 'titleholders'! [[User:Rally Wonk|Rally Wonk]] ([[User talk:Rally Wonk|talk]]) 21:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
::I'm not sure I see this precept that Championship wins are titles and Cup wins aren't. For instance, the headline karting competition, the [[FIA Karting World Championship]], is a stand-alone race. [[User:MSport1005|MSport1005]] ([[User talk:MSport1005|talk]]) 19:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
:::A championship can be a stand-alone race. The ''winner'' of the race is awarded the ''title'' of ''champion driver'' amongst awards such as prize money and physical trophies. Traditionally, cup winners didn't get a title, but now they can be called champions, title holders and so on, depending who wrote it and where you look.
