This is creating new dynamics around the ways in which football properties are governed and getting access to new ways of funding growth.

UEFA Annual and Financial Reports 2020/21
UEFA’s latest Annual and Financial Reports both offer timely reminders of how the European body applies the values of the European sports model at all levels of the football pyramid.
The European sports model forms the foundations on which most of our continent’s sports institutions, organisations and governing bodies are built. Its pyramid structure works on the premise that revenue generated at the top by professional competition is reinvested back into the game at all levels. It also recognises the sport’s contribution to society beyond the pitch, whether through education, innovation, sustainability or breaking down barriers.The 2020/21 editions of both our Annual and Financial Reports (plus the Financial Report annex) are packed with data, stories and graphics that show how UEFA lives the values of this model in every aspect of its mission.
