Unearthing all the Red Flags in the UEFA’s Swiss Model
Despite being the face of competitive balance and the European Super League’s (ESL) ardent attacker, Aleksander Čeferin is receptive to reforming the UCL rules. The organization is predicted to pick a path for the UEFA Club Competitions (UCC) by 2021, applicable from 2024-25 which would witness an increase of four teams in a championship instead of groups.
The reforms fail to reconcile the wants of fans with those of the clubs – there’s a defenestration of sporting merit, an imminent, disproportionate surge in revenue for the elite, and a disregard for competitive balance. The authors discuss how these ramifications demand the EU step in to rectify this UCL model, which is but an ESL, by stealth.
