UEFA make new plans for Champions League qualification

UEFA plans to scrap its coefficient plan from 2024. It will start awarding two Champions League places to countries.

According to the new proposal, only clubs that collectively performed best in Europe in the previous campaign will qualify.

This is the outcome of a meeting between UEFA and the European Club Association in Vienna concerning access to the competition.

Two places will now be awarded to clubs from the countries that performed best in Europe in the previous term.

If applied to next season, England will gain an extra spot, along with the Netherlands.

The number of matches in the new-look league phase per team will also reduce to eight from the initial 10 matches proposed.
