From 2024/25 the Champions League will change, a competition that will be formed by a higher number of teams (36). But this is not the only novelty, as UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin explained to the Spanish newspaper Marca: “It is always a bit problematic when a tournament changes, we have to explain things better to the fans. The proposed format is slightly more complex. compared to the current one, but more competitive and exciting, it will do good for the balance of the competition. We have not yet decided on the access lists, the UEFA coefficient is only one of the proposals, it may not end in that direction. The coefficient refers to the performance in UEFA competitions, but such a system could be unfair for smaller teams that get a good position in the league. We are evaluating and discussing the various options. “
Possible shift from Tuesday and Wednesday to Thursday? “No, we do not see the need for the Champions League to be played on Thursday – continues the UEFA number one – because there are already the Europa League and Conference League. Opening ceremony? An idea from ECA President Al-Khelaifi, I think it’s a lot good. We want to do something special at the start of the Champions League. Financial Fair Play? Even now if you have more money if more powerful, but the point is that this is the first time that leagues, ECA and UEFA have agreed on a sustainability system financial, fair for all parties. I am convinced that this is an excellent idea. The fines will be heavy if there are violations in this area “.
