Russian Football Union votes against leaving Uefa despite European ban

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67773404

The Russian Football Union has voted against leaving Uefa to join the Asian Football Confederation, despite being banned from European football.

Last year Fifa and Uefa banned all Russian teams from their competitions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"We unanimously voted against," RFU president Alexander Dyukov said of the proposal.

The RFU said it hopes to continue talks with Uefa about returning to European competition.

"We have decided to continue contacts with Uefa, especially as there is progress," said RFU committee member Mikhail Gershkovich.

"Let's see how the situation develops next year."

In recent months Uefa showed signs of relaxing restrictions on Russia's youth teams, but later abandoned plans to reinstate Russia's under-17 sides to European competition.

Even if the ExCo and Ceferin want to accept them back, they will probably all face a successful motion of confidence in the Congress if they do.

What you mean a motion of confidence?

The ExCo getting sacked by the Congress?

Yeah, I wanted to say no confidence

Any statutory provisions that would enable that?

Article 13.2
Matters within the powers of the Congress shall be the:
...
j) amendment of the Statutes
...
n) consideration of proposals for the dismissal of a member of the Executive Committee or the Organs for the Admistration of Justice

By the way as there were some discussions on whether teams from Saudi Arabia can play in UEFA competitions as it's not in Europe, there is a provision that for exceptional circumstances and requiring approval by FIFA a national association outside Europe can join UEFA.

UEFA Strategy 2024-30 “United for Success” approved

https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediase ... -approved/

The UEFA Executive Committee met today in Paris and approved the UEFA Strategy 2024-30 "United for Success".

The strategy provides a clear direction and roadmap to guide both UEFA and the wider European football community and is aimed at empowering football’s place in every community across Europe, preserving the integral link between grassroots football and elite competitions. It is based on 7 key values: Respect, Equality, Fairness, Openness, Unity, Integrity and Excellence.

UEFA men’s club competitions revenue distribution system 2024-27

The Committee approved the detailed revenue distribution system for the 2024-27 UEFA men’s club competitions.

Of the projected threshold of €4.4bn: 10% (€440m) is allocated to solidarity with 7% (€308m) to non-participating clubs and 3% (€132m) to qualifying rounds clubs. In addition, €25m are reserved to UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Youth League.

The net amount (after deduction of costs, solidarity payments and payments to other competitions) is shared between participating clubs (93.5%) and UEFA (6.5%).

Out of the total amount available for distribution to participating clubs (€ 3.317 bn), €2.467bn (74.38%) will be distributed to clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League (and UEFA Super Cup), €565m (17.02%) will be distributed to clubs competing in the UEFA Europa League and €285m (8.60%) to clubs in the UEFA Conference League. The ratio between the three competitions has been kept on the same level as in the current 2021/24 cycle.

The above amounts will be distributed through three different pillars: equal shares, performance pillar and value pillar. While the percentage reserved to equal shares (27.5%) and performance (37.5%) has been increased (+2.5% and +7.5% respectively), the value pillar will consist of 35%, i.e. 10% less than the aggregated shares of market pool and coefficient in the current cycle.

Detailed explanations and the amounts of equal shares and performance fees will be communicated via circular letter in the coming days.
