The European Club Union (EC) has shown a new proposal called The reward for the development of players (PDR), It requires the UEFA to provide at least 5% of its annual income from club competitions to trainers and having players competing with them. Regardless of whether these clubs participate in tournaments.
The EUC explained in a statement that the initiative was made in collaboration with its members, discussed at its final general meeting in an open and democratic process and This has been shown to the European Commission And the main stakeholders of the world of football.
A minimum of 5%
In principles of equity, maintenance and development incentives, the proposal indicates that a minimum of 5% of the UEFA Club Competition (UCC) revenue will be allocated each period as a reward dedicated to developing players.
These funds will be redistributed in clubs based on the minutes played in UEFA competitions and metal awards obtained by players formed and developed.
Only clubs that do not participate in the league stage
Only clubs that do not participate in the Champions League stage during the period can choose help, thus guaranteeing support for clubs whose work is often unnoticed.
The non -published values will be redistributed to the right clubs.
The ECC emphasized that its proposal was based on concrete data, with transfermarkt support and that simulations based on recent times show that Nearly 1,500 clubs from all over Europe will receive payments of this program (PDR), from the upper divisions to the sixth category. More than 400 clubs will receive more than 100,000 euros.
“Although concrete policy application is still the subject of debate, -Printing the euc- The basic principle is clear: Clubs invested in developing players should receive a fair reward when these players contribute to the success of European competitions. “
An obsolete system
For the EC, the current system is obsolete and does not fit the goals of sustainable football, as the mechanisms of UEFA unity and compensation for training are unreliable and linked to transfer activity, not to real development success.
“The UEFA Solidarity Payment does not currently include any specific reward for clubs based on the success of the players’ success. The reward for developing players is exactly: a pragmatic approach and based on the merits to restore equity and balance in the Soccer ecosystem”he concludes.
The EUC represents more than 140 clubs of 25 national federations, including Spanish Osasuna, Granada, Las Palmas, Albacete, Valladolid, Oviedo, Levante, Eibar, Leganés, Burgos, Huesca, Tenerife and Castellón.
