Congratulations at Barcelona Women    for their first Women Champions League.

This is the first WCL won by Spain teams, and also the first non-French or non-Germany win since 2006/07 (Arsenal; the competition was known as UEFA Women's Cup)

 

 

Next year the WCL will have a new format with a group stage (home/away) for the best 16 teams.

Barcelona trashed Chelsea 4-0 in that final. Guess English clubs can buy all the best players but talk about getting exposed here. Reminds me of that Swedish super team Tyreso that folded within months of losing in UCL final too

Big shoutout to all UEFA members (beside Israel), who will get the football season successfully finished in the next week. All leagues and cups will be done in record time, because of the late start in 2020 and just as planned before the EURO. Now this is how you get the job done! Awaiting the final exciting matches that are left.

So the FIFA Congress has just approved to start looking at the possibility of having FIFA World Cup every 2 years. Far from making it happen, but a first, mad step!

 i thinks it is a stupid proposal. World cup will lose its prestige if it is held every two years

More likely UEFA Euros will lose prestige. Obviously FIFA is looking at money and money alone. More matches means more money for the big wigs.

 

Euros could be rendered for B-teams calliber or U-23 like at the Olympics. This is far from being made official. Unlike athletics there are two governing bodies involved and UEFA will definitely see this idea as a major threat.

UEFA has nothing to say there. Wouldn't be the first time UEFA is beaten in a FIFA context.

Anything that annoys UEFA and european football has my support.
