The European Club Association (ECA) is a body representing the interests of professional association football clubs in UEFA.
It is the 🔑 sole such body recognised by the confederation, and has member clubs in each UEFA member association.
It was formed in 2008 🔑 after the merge between the G-14 and the European Club Forum,[1] which comprised a small number of elite clubs and 🔑 was unrecognised by UEFA.
The ECA's mission statement is "to create a new, more democratic governance model that truly reflects the 🔑 key role of the clubs".[3]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ECA suspended its seven Russian members - Zenit 🔑 St Petersburg, FC Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow, CSKA Moscow, FC Krasnodar, Rubin Kazan, and FC Rostov.[4]History [ edit ]
