ECA is a partnership of 220 best clubs in Europe, the aim of which is to represent the whole environment of club football in the international arena. As of 2015 Legia Warsaw is one of 105 ordinary members of the association, with full voting rights and the right to stand for election to the highest authorities of the organization. From September 7th Congress in session in Geneva ECA.
– I am very glad that the representatives of European clubs have trusted my the vision of the development of European football and supported my candidacy to the Board of ECA – comments Mioduski. – The fact of being in this group, with partners such as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bayern Munich, Andrea Agnelli of Juventus, Edward Woodward Manchester United and Edwin van der Sar from Ajax Amsterdam argues that the position of Polish football in Europe is getting stronger – he added.
In the most important organ of the executive ECA, which is the Board (Executive Board), sits 15 representatives member clubs. 11 of them clubs associated with the status of an ordinary member elect from among themselves – it is precisely in this way the mandate received Mioduski. Four other members of the Board are representatives of the ECA in the Professional Football Strategy Council at the UEFA Among the members are representatives of, among others, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus, Olympique Lyon, Ajax Amsterdam, Arsenal FC, RSC Anderlecht and Celtic FC.
– From year two members of the Board ECA also sits on the Executive Committee of UEFA, and in subsequent years this number has yet to rise – selects Mioduski. – This is a proof of the ever-growing influence of the ECA in European football. Today it translates into concrete decisions of UEFA, such as an increase in resources generated within the European Cup, which will go directly to the clubs; as well as FIFA, which the ECA has negotiated a $ 200 million compensation for clubs whose players take part in the world championships in 2018 and 2022 years. That is three times more than the FIFA paid so far.
ECA is today one of the most important players in the global the football business, whose global value increases year on year by approx. 10% and currently exceeds $ 15 billion. The association also plays a very important role in the process of working together with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules. – It is very important that the debate on the European football our voice heard – selects Mioduski. – The mandate given to me by the ECA Congress authorizes me to act not only on behalf of Legia Warsaw and the entire Polish football club, but also allows me to represent the interests and position of the entire club football in our region. This is a huge challenge but also a great honor – he says.
Evidence of the growing importance of Legia Warsaw in the structures of ECA is the fact that when Congress announced the launch of ECA Executive Management Programme for top managers working in the European Cup. One of the modules of the program and gala summarizing its first edition will be held at the stadium at Łazienkowska 3. Thus Legia Warsaw will become host to one of the most exclusive events of 2017 in European club football.
