Champions League on Saturday and Serie A during the week: the Eca project
ROME – According to what was written by 'La Repubblica', the most powerful football clubs would be studying a revolution of the Champions League that would also affect national championships. If he went to port, he would put the national championships in the background because the Champions League would be played on Saturday.
Saturday's Champions League, project could go through the 2024-2025 season.
The project would go into effect from the 2024-2025 season and would include a Champions League (or rather a European Super League) with 32 teams divided into 4 groups of 8 teams, with 24 clubs competing regardless of placement in national tournaments. These clubs would be invited to participate in the results achieved in the Champions League over the course of their prestigious history.
According to La Repubblica, the games would be played over the weekend, while the national championships would be moved to Wednesday. The Serie A, in this case, would face a reduction from the current 20 teams to 18. As it was until the 2003-2004 season, the year of the penultimate AC Milan championship.
This is the plan but there would be an NBA-style plan B: giving life to a limited number of championships, with some clubs that would have the guaranteed place, regardless of the result in the league, but based on their sports history.
On 6 and 7 May next, in Madrid, there should be a decisive summit of the European Leagues. Difficult, for 'La Repubblica', to resist this will of the ECA (European Club Association) led by Andrea Agnelli and many leading clubs, for this reason we would be thinking of a mediation that could also find the consent of our League Series TO.
At the moment, only the Champions League final is played on Saturday. Soon the semi-finals of the big-eared cup will also be played on Saturday. In the future, we could see the whole Champions League move on Saturday. For now it is only a project but soon it could become a reality because it is a primary objective of the most important clubs in Europe.
