Read our privacy policy Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin will listen to fans before making final decisions on the new-look Champions League, according to the Football Supporters’ Association. He was told that Uefa should abandon its plans to grant two places in the revamped Champions League from 2024 based on historical performance rather than via domestic competition, and that fans were opposed to the idea of four additional matches due to be added to the group phase. Uefa’s executive committee announced major changes to the Champions League on 19 April, but they were overshadowed by the statement confirming the launch of the Super League the previous evening. “We have made it absolutely crystal clear to Uefa and Aleksander Ceferin that allowing clubs to qualify for Europe based on anything other than sporting merit is completely unacceptable and fans oppose any expansion of the Champions League,” Miles said.
