Men's Football

Leadership in the Men’s Game

The Men’s Football area of work brings clubs from across Europe together to make the game better. The group looks at how to keep football exciting for fans, competitive for players and sustainable for clubs.

It focuses on two main goals: improving the quality of football on the pitch and helping clubs run to the highest professional standards off it. By sharing ideas and best practices, the group finds smart, responsible ways to develop the game and support club performance. 

The group is led by EFC Board Member Aki Riihilahti, with SL Benfica President Rui Costa as Chair, ensuring that the voices of all our clubs play a central role in shaping the future of men’s football.    (Link to working group composition)
