ATM it's 'international' money, but would UEFA do a Prem on FIFA? There have been stories this morning about Denmark and England considering a breakaway. Would presumably need more support but clearly not out of the question. RoyMac5 and TigerTedd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure under Platini there were rumblings of a power struggle as this was where the money was with EU competitions, Platini accepted £1.7m in advisory payments(not bribes)as this was thrown out at court the other month in Switzerland. Not sure if UEFA get money from FIFA ?♀️if so this could be the stumbling block, But if they do get the go ahead from EU Countries and that would be a monumental decision to get all on board then I can see a football war in the courts where the only winner are the Lawyers.

Watch this space. UEFA is by far the most powerful of the confederations. All of the most watched leagues and all of the biggest club sides are in Europe. 11 of the top 15 in Fifas rankings are European sides. UEFA has a lot of power and I hope they use it to either make some drastic changes within FIFA or alternatively just leave the organisation entirely.

UEFA also get the most spots at the World Cup. 13 teams from 55 members CONMEBOL (South America) get 5 teams from 10 members AFC (Asia) get 5 teams from 47 members CONCACAF (North America) get 4 teams from 41 members CAF (Africa) get 5 teams from 54 members OFC (Oceania) don't get any guaranteed spots from 13 members So yes - it's definitely all a money/power thing, based on the size/wealth of the national football associations in each geography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
