They also discuss the return of restrictions on team meetings from one country and increase the prize for the top 8 group stage.
According to the authoritative German edition of Bild, one of the key points on the agenda is the cancellation of extra time in the playoff matches in the event of a draw account for two meetings. In this case, the winner will be determined immediately in a penalty series, without additional 30 minutes of the game.
This innovation, according to UEFA, should reduce the physical load on the football players, especially in the conditions of a tense calendar.
In addition, UEFA considers the return of a rule by which teams from one country cannot meet in the group stage and in the 1/8 finals. This provision acted earlier, but was subsequently canceled.
Another point of discussion was the increase in financial rewards for clubs that finish in the TOP-8 in the group stage of the tournament.
So far, none of the decisions has become official status – now these are just proposals that are actively discussed in UEFA circles.
