Jallo Swart, general director of EPFL, explained in his speech that the ideal is that All leagues participating in UEFA competitions have, At least one representative, and recalled that the proposal provided by UEFA will have 3 competitions: Champions League, Europa League and Europa League 2.
He also talked about a maximum of 7 teams per association (country) and that the distribution be equitable, including for the five major European leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France).
Regarding the promotion of clubs between the different Leagues, the European League Association made it clear that it will ask UEFA That there is only one promotion.
Therefore, the winner of the Europa League could go to the Champions League the following year and only the winner of the Champions League would go to the Europa League if I didn't get it for the regular phase.
As for the match schedule, they will ask UEFA to the total number of game days is 25, always on weekdays and only on weekends the days of the finals.
On the financial distribution among the clubs, he recalled that a working group has been created for this issue and urged to find a balance more fair distribution from 2024.
They do not agree, from the Association of European Leagues, that the clubs that won the most titles take a greater part, since "it is not a good system", Jallo Swart explained.
They are against, therefore, the "bond for historical titles," he insisted, and ask for a coefficient based on the performance of each club and not the one of the global of the same league.
They will also urge UEFA to increase the percentage of solidarity for the rest of the clubs, which “must reach 20%”.
Specifically, they will ask that the top five leagues contribute 6.5% (of the percentage of solidarity) to promote the development of football.
The representatives of the Association of European Leagues that intervened, headed by its president, Lars Olsson, insisted on the need for the future reforms planned by UEFA protect the interest of domestic leagues and that the participation of clubs be increased.
To give voice to all entities that want to contribute to the football boom in Europe at all levels, the European League Association has created the “SupportYourLeague” platform, which was presented today in Lisbon.
