NYON, Switzerland: UEFA's plans for European competition include the participation of more clubs and the introduction of a league system featuring promotion and relegation, a leading official said on Wednesday.

Olsson, whose group represents Europe's domestic leagues, said there was"not a big difference" between Agnelli's suggestion and the UEFA proposal. "The total picture is there should be more clubs involved, for example... so we have to analyse what effect that is going to have."UEFA has not given any details on its plans, saying that current discussions are merely"brainstorming." and that a final decision is not due until next year. It could not immediately be reached for comment after Wednesday's meeting.At present, 80 teams take part in the group stages of European club competition, rising to 96 from 2021.

Olsson said that UEFA's proposal was"the only one for the time being" and this is what they have to analyse. However, he added that only a"very limited number" of clubs appeared to support the plan already outlined by Agnelli.
