A decision on the future of the Champions League has been delayed until next month, Uefa has announced. The changes proposed by Uefa in its ‘Horizon 2024’ package amounted to the biggest shift in the competition’s structure for decades. Uefa had proposed an increase from 32 to 36 teams, with the clubs competing in one league rather than an eight groups of four. Football Supporters Europe (FSE) has expressed its concerns about the proposed format changes from a fans’ perspective. “We’ll potentially lose whole generations [of supporters].”One issue which will be discussed at Wednesday’s meeting is the admission of spectators to Uefa matches amid the coronavirus pandemic.
