So be it UEFA considering a third European club competition EUROPEAN Club Association (ECA) chairman Andrea Agnelli, who is also on UEFA's executive committee, has referred to a new tournament and said that "the green light has been given". He did not give any more details on how the tournament would be organised. "The current model needs mod- ernising," said Agnelli. Agnelli, who is also chairman of Italian champions Juventus, said: "A detailed assessment of the ex- isting international match calen- dar is required prior to presenting a new model post-2024." Speaking at the annual general assembly of the ECA in Croatia, he said the third competition would increase the number of clubs involved in European foot- ball from 80 to 96. The Champi- ons League features 32 teams in the group stage and the second- tier Europa League has 48. The Cup Winners' Cup – for domestic cup champions – was scrapped in 1999. UEFA said it is "constantly reviewing the format of its competitions and is look- ing at a variety of options". A third European club competition could be introduced alongside the Champions League and Europa League from 2021, according to the head of the association of Europe's biggest teams Andrea Agnelli
