EPFL draft charter to make all clubs equal

THE European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL) continued their development in Dublin yesterday by drafting a constitution which will now be put before each member association, including the Eircom League.

It is hoped the constitution will be finalised at the group’s December meeting in Milan and will give power to this body, which aims to represent every club within the EU and break the control of Europe’s biggest clubs.

While the increased power of bodies like G14 have made many fearful of the creation of a European Superleague, they have no official status within UEFA, unlike the EPFL.
