Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>European clubs have heightened influence and affluence thanks to the joint venture between Uefa and the European Club Association, ECA chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in an address to its General Assembly in Vienna on Monday.<\/p>\n

Al-Khelaifi said that the collaboration between the two bodies, which aimed to identify marketing partners to sell commercial rights for European club competitions in the 2024-27 cycle, had led to an increase in projected value for the tournaments.<\/p>\n

In February, Uefa, along with the ECA, appointed TEAM Marketing and Relevent Sports Group as sales partners for men\u2019s club competitions.<\/p>\n

Al-Khelaifi suggested that the partnership had proved to be more lucrative for European football than the proposed European Super League would have been.<\/p>\n

Last April, twelve big European clubs announced plans to form a breakaway league, but the project imploded within days following the withdrawal of the six English clubs involved. Subsequently, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan also pulled out.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time ever, Uefa and ECA have worked jointly to conduct an open and competitive tender to manage the sales process for men\u2019s European club competitions,\u201d Al-Khelaifi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen an amazing 39 per cent increase in the forecasted commercial value of the men\u2019s Uefa club competitions for the post-2024 cycle. This deal also proves that the doubters of the European football model were wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore influence and more affluence for clubs, more progressive governance and more European togetherness \u2014 I remember some people trying to tear down the system for a fraction of these things last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al-Khelaifi also said that the ECA would make available 1 million euros ($1.10 million) in aid to Ukrainian people affected by Russia\u2019s invasion of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living through troubling times. We have all grieved to see the violent attacks on the Ukrainian people, and we call for peace,\u201d the Paris Saint-Germain president said. \u201cI am in touch with the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) so that ECA can help both the Ukrainian people, and the refugees being cared for in the neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cECA will make available an initial 1 million euro financial contribution in supporting our members\u2019 efforts in assisting the Ukrainian people, while many of our clubs have also offered to find a safe place for Ukrainian youth academy players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia calls its actions a \u201cspecial military operation\u201d.<\/p>\n

The ECA\u2019s General Assembly is set to discuss a number of wide-ranging issues in football over the next two days, including Financial Fair Play, the format of European club competitions after 2024 and inclusivity in the sport.<\/p>\n
