Nasser Al-Khelaïfi Re-elected as ECA President: The Super League Fallout and UEFA Support

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is here re-elected by the ECA (European Club Association) as president at the conference held in Berlin. The event was attended by Ceferin and Infantinowith whom agreements have been reached in recent months.

The start of the Super League left a free seat that the president of Paris Saint-Germain has been able to occupy very quickly, counting on the UEFA support when battling against the competition that wanted to destroy the great jewel in the crown of European football, the Champions League. Since that moment, relations between the Qatari leader and the organization have been increasingly better.

Al-Khelaifi has not missed the opportunity to take advantage of the championship that was going to be born with the intention of going above all the others: “I call it the ‘Non-Super League’. Nobody wants to be there. We don’t care what they do. They are outside the ECA. “Before there were three teams and now there are two.” The last team to abandon the initiative was Juventus. The Italian club no longer has Andrea Agnelli as leader, former president of the ECA and one of the main supporters of the competition that was going to be created. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been left alone on the boatwho do not seem willing to take a step back despite the fact that their relationships have been greatly compromised after the explosion of the Negreira case.

In recent months, The European Club Association has reached an agreement with UEFA for the creation of a joint company to help the sale of television rights for European competitions, and the results have been satisfactory for both parties, since income has clearly increased. One of the novelties of the congress held in Berlin is that from 2024, the distribution of income in the Champions League will changedownplaying the historical results of the clubs and the importance of their television market, and giving it to sports results. Something that benefits teams without success in the competition.

Club World Cup

Infantino’s last idea was to launch a tournament with the best teams from each confederation, with the aim of every four years we would have the best club in the world. To carry out this idea, The ECA, as representative of the entities, negotiated with FIFA and accepted his creation. In this way, the president of the highest body in world football achieved his goal and Al-Khelaïfi managed to increase income from international players.
