in the world of football has become accustomed to the fact that UEFA and FIFA have the final word when it comes to international club and nationsturneringer.
But now is a relatively new powerful organisation, the ECA, in earnest to assert themselves. ECA is an organization such as the UEFA can’t do without and an organization. as FIFA is going to have to live with. On good and evil.
the association of european clubs. Today, the organization 232 members, including AaB, Brøndby, FCK, FCM, FCN and OB.
however, It is the biggest clubs in Europe, who manages the enterprise. Andrea Agnelli of Juventus is the president of the ECA, and the closest to himself he has the leaders from Real Madrid, Manchester United, Ajax and Bayern Munich just to name a few.
strong an organization is the ECA, when it comes to the crunch? Let me give a few examples.
It was Andrea Agnelli, who last year announced the third european club competition from 2021. It means that all the 96 clubs are going to participate in a european group stage. 32 in the Champions League, 32 in the Europa League and 32 in the new tournament, which has not yet been given a name.
congress on Tuesday in Amsterdam, and here it was Agnelli who, at the subsequent press conference told that there will be changes to the Champions League from 2024. Without going into the details, did he understand that the big clubs with the big budgets need to be considered, but he did, at the same time emphasize that all national champions must have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League.
It is both a desire and a demand from UEFA and the big clubs bowed. But wait me it will not be a very small needle’s eye, as for example the Danish masters must squeeze through in order to arrive at the dance about the golden calf. It becomes difficult, not to say impossible.
did not hide that the goal is to make the Champions League an even bigger business than the american Super Bowl.
the Champions League final should be a worldwide event, and therefore should continue to be played on Saturday for the global to hit as large a tv audience as possible.
the Article continues under the picture…
the Fiat heir and Juventus-boss Andrea Agnelli has been a powerful figure in international football.
in mid-march in Miami, Florida adopted a new Club-the WORLD cup with the participation of 24 teams, including eight european, announced Andrea Agnelli, the tournament will ECA boycott.
One of the architects behind the new Club-the WORLD cup is the former Croatian star Zvonimir Boban. Today, he is deputy secretary general of FIFA, and he has since the meeting in Miami every day called the ECA in order to make the organization soft in the knees.
Everyone is well aware that a Club WORLD cup without the european clubs will be just as exciting as revisiting the first 80 minutes against Switzerland.
maintained Andrea Agnelli officially the resistance against a Club WORLD championship in 2021. Go referred to the fact that there is no space in the calendar, which is nonsense. The period was devoted to the Confederations Cup, which is deleted for the benefit of the Club WORLD cup. He also said that the players need to rest after a long season. It is all the same negotiating tactic.
The european clubs put up to the Club WORLD championships from the 17. June to 4. July 2021. Maybe even with 12 clubs. They are just waiting, that the money gets big enough. We’re talking about approx. 200 million dollars per club just to participate.
close to the negotiations learns I that the Champions Leaguevinderne from 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 are born as participants at the Club WORLD cup. How the other teams are, is up to a debate between the FIFA, UEFA and of course the ECA.
