UEFA considers changing format of Champions League in favour of top teams

UEFA is considering changing the format of the Champions League so that the top four teams from the top four European leagues would qualify automatically for the competition.

If the changes are approved, the top four teams from England, Germany, Spain and Italy would qualify for the group stages of the Champions League.

UEFA's club competition committee is considering a variety of options to revamp the competition in order to ward off the threat of a breakaway Super League by some of Europe's leading clubs.

Allowing four clubs from the four leading leagues to qualify automatically for the Champions League is just one of the options which is being discussed.

Changes are likely to be introduced  for the next three-year cycle of European club competitions from 2018-2021.

Many clubs have expressed concerns - primarily through the European Clubs' Association (ECA) - about the qualifying criteria and format of UEFA club competitions.

This season leading clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and AC Milan are missing out on the revenue generated by playing in the Champions League.

UEFA has held several meetings with key stakeholders over the past few months to discuss the future of its club competitions and listen to the feedback of all of those involved.

The feedback from the consultations, together with proposals for a way forward, will be submitted to the clubs before the ECA general assembly in Geneva on 5-6 September.

The proposals will then be discussed at an Extraordinary UEFA Congress in Athens on September 14-15, where a new UEFA president will be elected to replace Michel Platini.

打少啲外圍賽都好

【now.com體育】歐洲足協周二官方宣佈，4大聯賽的殿軍將於下季開始，直入歐聯分組賽，避免陰溝翻船的尷尬。

根據目前的歐洲聯賽排名榜，傳統上的4大聯賽英超、西甲、德甲和意甲依然霸佔前4位，因此，由2018/19球季開始，4大聯賽的第4名球隊，毋須應付歐聯附加賽，直接晉級分組賽。UEFA為新規定作出詳細解釋，根據歐洲聯賽排名，歐聯分組賽共有26個直接晉級名額，比以往多了4席，故此不計算衛冕的球隊和歐霸盃冠軍，僅僅剩下4席由外圍賽和附加賽產生。

同時，UEFA宣佈由下季起的歐聯比賽時間，將會仿傚歐霸盃的頭輪和尾輪，讓球迷毋須分心，至少可在兩輪各選1場比賽選擇性收看完整直播。

最後一提，爭逐歐聯分組賽席位的賽制變得更為複雜，4隊中突圍而出的「外卡」球隊，加入外圍賽首圈共有34隊，兩回合淘汰制後剩下17隊；次圈加入3支球隊，連同17隊再分高下，剩下10隊得勝者殺入第3圈；2支球隊新加入，合共12隊進行淘汰賽，剩下6隊晉級附加賽；附加賽再有2隊加入，合共8隊爭奪剩下4個小組賽席位。

對四大聯賽係好事

【now.com體育】歐洲足協周五證實由2018/19球季起，歐洲4大聯賽的歐聯分組賽席位將增至4席。

各支歐洲球隊每季都為參加歐聯而「爭崩頭」，不過這個情況稍後或會有所改變。歐洲足協（UEFA）周五宣佈，歐洲4大聯賽由2018/19年賽季起，聯賽頭4名都會獲得直接晉身歐聯分組賽的資格；根據UEFA的聯賽排名，西甲、德甲、英超和意甲分別進佔頭4位，如果排名不變，他們將成為最大的得益者。

在現行的歐聯制度下，英超、西甲及德甲的頭3名可拿到直通歐聯分組賽的入場券，而第4名則要參加外圍賽；意甲就只得2隊的名額，第3名需要透過外圍賽晉級。

雖然4大聯賽獲增設名額，但UEFA亦證實歐聯屆時會沿用現時的賽制，32支球隊被分成8組，決出16強後採取淘汰制，意味著外圍賽的出線名額將會減少。

火鳳凰:2018 開始…… 2018, 2019 應該都仲係西、德、英、意四大聯賽，但係如果 2020 意/英跌出四大的話，到時係唔係又改例呢？[表情]  (2016-08-26 17:03)

UEFA club competition format changes from 2018
Published: Friday 26 August 2016, 10.30CET
The top four teams from the four highest-ranked associations will enter the UEFA Champions League group stage from 2018 after new formats were confirmed for both major club competition

The format for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League for 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 have been confirmed, with no changes to the compettions system but a new procedure for entries.

Following an extensive consultative process involving all European football stakeholders, UEFA proposed amendments which have been approved by the UEFA Executive Committee, upon recommendations of the UEFA Club Competitions Committee and the European Club Association Board.

Changes

-The UEFA Europa League winners will automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage (currently they can potentially take part in a play-off round).
-The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
-The full details of the access list for both competitions will be finalised by the end of the year.
-A new system for the club coefficients: clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association's coefficient).
-Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles)
-Financial distribution to clubs will be increased significantly for both competitions.
-A new four-p illar financial distribution system (starting fee, performance in the competition, individual club coefficient and market pool) will see sporting performances better rewarded, while market pool share will decrease.

What doesn't change

-Retention of Champions and League route of qualifying in the UEFA Champions League, ensuring that clubs from all associations can enter through their domestic leagues and qualify for both competitions.
-The UEFA Champions League will continue to have a 32-team group stage leading to a 16-club knockout phase. Similarly the UEFA Europa League remains at 48 teams.
-A subsidiary company will be created that will play a strategic role in determining the future and the management of club competitions: UEFA Club Competitions SA, where half of the managing directors will be appointed by UEFA and the other half by the ECA.

Speaking about the amendments agreed for the new cycle, UEFA General Secretary ad interim Theodore Theodoridis said: "The evolution of UEFA's club competitions is the result of a wide-ranging consultative process involving all stakeholders and taking into account a wide range of expertise and perspectives.

"The amendments made will continue to ensure qualification based on sporting merit, and the right of all associations and their clubs to compete in Europe's elite club competitions.

"We are happy that European football remains united behind the concepts of solidarity, fair competition, fair distribution and good governance."

Uefa set to announce changes to the Champions League this morning. First up - 4 guaranteed slots in group stage for Ita, Ger, Eng, Spa clubs

Europe's top clubs set to win big in new Champions League deal with no fourth place play-off for England, Spain, Germany
Changes to Champions League format will benefit Europe's elite
Larger slice of prize money to go to teams from highest ranked leagues
England, Spain and Germany will no longer have fourth place play-off
Changes to be announced on Friday will be introduced for 2018-2021



The richest clubs and biggest leagues in Europe are set to tighten their grip on the Champions League's future format and prize money this week.
A deal being prepared by UEFA should end threats by some elite clubs to break away and form a closed European Super League before 2021.
However, it could ensure that more guaranteed places in the 32-team group stage and bigger shares of billion-dollar prize money each season will go to teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus from the four highest-ranked national leagues.

A series of meetings with clubs and UEFA executive committee members is expected to agree changes to entry slots for the 2018-2021 seasons.
In a statement, UEFA said that it 'expects to announce the evolution' of the Champions League at a news conference on Friday.
Italian clubs are looking to be the big winner. Serie A would offer four direct entries to the group stage, compared to two in the current format.
Spain, England and Germany would also benefit by ending the risk of its fourth-placed club losing in the playoff round each August.
Advancing through the playoffs is worth tens of millions of pounds as UEFA will share £1.1bn among the 32 group-stage clubs this season.
Changing the Champions League format is possible every three years.

It must be agreed before UEFA's retained marketing agency can sell Champions League and Europa League rights to broadcasters and sponsors for the next cycle.  
Benefits for Europe's elite sides included more entries for the top leagues, bigger shares of the prize fund, protected places for storied clubs with a global fan base, and playing matches on Saturdays rather than midweek.    
The new timetable should see the tournament's immediate future settled before the UEFA presidential vote on September 14 to replace Platini.

鬼咩…… 以前歐聯就叫做賺最多錢，而家英超賺既錢已經幾倍歐聯。再係咁落去，歐聯好快會變成雞肋…… [表情] (2016-08-11 21:58) 

講到底都係錢

歐洲超級聯賽好多年前已經聽過

問題係最後係歐洲足協促成，
