EUROPEAN LEAGUES PRINCIPLES
FOR EUROPEAN CLUB COMPETITIONS
POST 2024
European club football suffers from an increasing financial & sporting gap. Our proposal would narrow the gap instead of grow it.
- For the Cycle 2021-24 cycle the European Leagues already proposed a new system for distribution of money that enables more clubs to play in a more balanced competitive environment and allows football to flourish in more places.
- It is important to increase support for clubs that do not play in European competitions.
- Narrow the distribution gap between the 3 European competitions
- No historical results as criteria for revenue distribution.
