This week, UEFA's executive committee meet on Hvar, Croatia, before the general assembly of the European Club Association (ECA) takes place in Istanbul, Turkey where clubs and executives to explore ways to drive up revenues across the game in a post-Covid world.

It is believed that  UEFA's leading clubs 'are considering the idea of playing some Champions League games in the USA, China or the Middle East or taking some of the Champions League's best games out of Europe and into other markets.

It is thought that Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi - chair of the ECA and a member of UEFA's executive committee backs the plan.

The plan is to allow the global fanbase of some of the continent's biggest clubs easier access to 'meaningful games.

However, it is merely a proposal which might generate football fans and supporters in Europe, especially after the recent push for the failed European Super League competition.

The collapse of the Super League meant UEFA gave more power to its leading clubs, and it is this which they are hoping to capitalize on with these intercontinental conversations.

Other options on the table include a four-team 'Opening Tournament' featuring last season's Champions League winners, and playing the UEFA Super Cup outside of Europe.
