Football Supporters Europe (FSE) notes today’s statement by UEFA following their Executive Committee meeting in Tirana, which commits to taking a considered and measured approach to any decision regarding the possibility of playing domestic league matches abroad.
We welcome UEFA’s commitment to meaningful consultation in the coming weeks with all football stakeholders, to ensure any decision is based on the best interests of the entire European football ecosystem. Today’s announcement reflects their dedication to preserving the integrity of European football.
The specific mention for fans to be involved in this engagement demonstrates that UEFA has recognised the strong opposition expressed by millions of supporters across the continent, as well as those of the many other stakeholders who have spoken out against these plans. FSE would like to thank every supporters group across Europe who co-signed our statement opposing these proposals – your voice has made a real difference.
Our position remains unchanged: European football belongs to our stadiums, our cities, our communities – one domestic match abroad is one too many.
FSE remains committed to constructive dialogue with UEFA, European institutions, and other stakeholders to protect and strengthen the European Sport Model and to ensure a robust framework is in place to resist any attempts to take domestic league games abroad.
