President of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is also the president of the ECA. It was this cap that he donned yesterday to lead the organization’s board of directors which was held at the Civitas Metropolitano. The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, was also invited to participate. NAK took the opportunity to discuss the expansion of the ECA, which now has more than 600 associated clubs thanks to the arrival of 266 additional teams this season. Something to make the PSG boss proud. His words are relayed by A.S. “This is a fantastic time because of our rapid expansion and positive evolution. This shows that the ECA is a dynamic, democratic, representative and inclusive organization. When I became president of the ECA, there were 174 clubs… now we are 610. Unity is the strength of the ECA, which is totally different from the G-14 before.”
NAK took advantage of the tight microphones to attack the Super League. “The door is always open for these clubs which are not in the ECA. The Super League does not exist. So, when they realize it, they will be welcome to come back (Barça in particular, editor’s note). We played against them in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the best club competition in the world. It’s the best competition, the best system we have. They’re not really happy about it, but then again, they’re playing it because they know it’s important. They know this is the main competition. So I hope you are aware of this. They know the door is always open. We are in joint contact with FIFA and UEFA.” The message was passed to Barça or even Real Madrid, still linked to the SL project.
