The UEFA Executive Committee is UEFA’s supreme executive body, which comprises the UEFA President and 16 other members elected by a UEFA Congress, plus two elected by ECA and one by European Leagues. Nasser Al-Khelaifi will take up the second ECA seat on the committee alongside ECA Chairman Andrea Agnelli, replacing Ivan Gazidis. The decision is subject to ratification from the UEFA Congress, which is to meet on 7 February in Rome.

Commenting on his election, Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated:

“I am deeply honoured to have been elected by my fellow ECA Executive Board members to join the UEFA Executive Committee. I look forward to working alongside members of the UEFA Executive Committee to enhance and develop European football, whilst ensuring that the interests of all the clubs are represented in the decision making process.”
