Sustainable growth
Without adequate competition formats, football markets and competitions cannot reach their potential. In the same way, players cannot reach their peak without decent working conditions under which to train and perform. Today’s investment in the working lives of players will shape the growth of the game for the next generation.
Protection of domestic playing environments
The impact of significant competition reforms on the long-term development of domestic playing markets must be carefully analysed. Domestic competitions and employment markets must be protected. This includes, for example, the access to club competitions based on sporting merit and the protection of exclusive match days at the weekend for domestic leagues.
Innovation and development of competitions
We recognise the need for competition formats to continue evolving as global trends continue to change. However, the innovative commitment and character of the football industry must focus on all market segments and create new and more innovative competition formats for a larger group of players to protect the diversity of the global game.
