The European Club Association (ECA) representing over 700 clubs across 55 countries in Europe and UEFA, European football’s governing body, announced today an extension of their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), building their long-standing partnership out until 2033. This agreement, signed today during ECA’s 31st General Assembly in Athens, Greece, evolves the MoU signed at the 30th ECA General Assembly in Berlin and solidifies the collaborative framework between European football’s governing body and ECA.
At the signing ceremony, ECA Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin re-affirmed the continued cooperation that has underpinned European club football’s development, stability and success for over 15 years. The now extended MoU confirms that ECA maintains its recognition of UEFA as the governing body of football in Europe, while UEFA recognises ECA as the sole representative body for clubs at European and global level.
