UEFA has made significant changes to its flagship Champions League competition in an unacceptable manner which will be detrimental to domestic football, the organization representing Europe's domestic soccer leagues (EPFL) said on Thursday. The EPFL said UEFA's conduct could lead to an end of the agreement where domestic matches are not scheduled on the same nights as matches in European club competitions. "A major change in European football has been announced without the support and consensus of the organizers of domestic league football in Europe," the EPFL said in a statement.
