| Champions League And UEFA Cup Changes The European Football Union says it will open the Champions League to clubs from smaller countries and will add eight teams to the second-tiered UEFA Cup competition. At meeting in Lucerne, Switzerland, the UEFA Executive Committee said there would not be changes to the main part of the Champions League. However, beginning in 2009, six of the 32 slots would be reserved for clubs from less competitive leagues to bring more countries into the tournament. Also, for the first time the Champions League final will be on a Saturday in 2010 rather than its traditional Wednesday. UEFA said three English, Italian, and Spanish clubs will automatically qualify for the Champions League beginning in 2009. Currently, only the top two clubs from each of those nations qualify. Meanwhile, the UEFA Cup has been expanded from 40 to 48 teams. The tournament will now have 12 groups of four teams each with the top two in each group moving on to the knockout rounds. | |||||||||||||||

Arsenal 7 - 0 Slavia How is that a good idea? It means some better teams will miss out. | ||||||||||||||||

| Re: Champions League And UEFA Cup Changes I don't like the idea of a Champions League final on a Saturday. Okay, it might be easier for fans to travel somewhere on a Saturday, but it's always been Wednesday night, and it should stay that way. Mr Platini, don't fix something that isn't broken!! | |||||||||||||||
