"We can confirm reports that [UEFA general secretary] Theodore Theodoridis had met with [A22 co-founder] Mr Anas Laghrari on a few occasions,"
"These meetings occurred in public settings, and any suggestion that they were 'secret' is entirely false. No formal outcomes resulted from these conversations. We categorically reaffirm that there are no plans to change the format of the UEFA Champions League."
UEFA confirmed that its general secretary met on several occasions with A22 co-founder Anas Laghrari and said those meetings took place in public settings and produced no formal outcomes. UEFA explicitly denied any plans to change the UEFA Champions League format. Reports said discussions involved A22 and representatives of Real Madrid and Barcelona and considered reforms to make the Champions League resemble the Super League, including more matches between large clubs and free-to-air games. A22 proposed a three-league, 64-club competition with promotion and relegation and a free-to-air streaming service called "Unify."
