The 900 million euro budget, Anjeli challenges UEFA
In the last days, “Superliga” is the hottest theme of European club football. As Sportmediaset explains, this competition aims to take the place and the space of the championships at the weekend. The ambitious project belongs to the ECA (European Club Association), which in its presidency already has Andrea Anjelin. As the head of Juventus clarifies, the idea of ??a “Superlige” continues to be in the plans of the company he leads, despite officially being an abandoned project. In a statement to the media, Annie clarified:
“The SuperLiga theme has been officially abandoned some time ago, but in fact continues to be regularly the subject of discussion in the ECA. We are talking about a competition that guarantees 900 million euros in revenue for participating clubs. The figure is huge and stands in the midst of a duel between ECA and UEFA. Even FIFA has its role, albeit secondary. ” Anjel has also presented his project points, underlining that the organization he is representing is about to change the course of European football:
1. The ECA has an increasingly important role in European football and this organization thinks it should be taken into account for football decision-making in the Old Continent but also in the world (calendar and competition dates)
2. The ECA thinks that the Champions League brings less money than it can, especially if we compare it with events of the same value, such as the “Super Bowl”, the final of the American soccer championship.
3. The ECA claims that by 2021, when broadcasting rights to Champions have to be allocated, countries such as the United States or China should also be considered.
