Uefa says projected losses for European top-flight clubs in 2021 are 4bn euros (£3.33bn), exceeding the 3bn euros (£2.5bn) figure from 2020. Last April, 12 clubs tried to form a breakaway European Super League only for the plan to collapse two days later. "One lesson of the last two years has been that it is only by showing solidarity and working together that European football can overcome existential challenges such as the pandemic," said Ceferin. But whether the pandemic stays or goes, European football will stay strong, stable and united in 2022." Northern Ireland and Scotland are the only two countries where the women's league is organised by a separate entity to the national association.
