General Director of the Italian Serie A, Luigi De Siervo, identified serious concerns about the upcoming national championships due to the constant expansion of tournaments under the FIFA and UEFA umbrella.

In a heated interview with Rivista Undici, the functionary stated that new formats of international sales create a critical impact on the calendar and threaten international visibility and the status of domestic leagues.

According to De Siervo, Serie A has already played for over twenty years in a 20-team format, which is similar to the top leagues of Spain and England. The number of European and international matches is growing rapidly and uncontrollably.

The functionary noted that the leagues will be deprived of the remaining truly democratic element of the system, so that the main core organs will no longer expand, taking up all the free space in the already over-extended distribution. De Ciervo, following the example of the English Premier League, wanted to expand its television broadcasts in the middle of the country by 20% in order to fight off competition..

In order to abolish national tournaments, the World Leagues Association, whose vice-president is De Ciervo, took radical action. The organization is suing FIFA for abuse of dominance. Head meta - avoid further harm for internal smagans through oversaturation of the calendar. De Siervo added:.

“We are waging this battle not so much for the sake of saving the destruction of the leagues, but for the sake of honoring our patients.”.

De Siervo also anticipated that this trend would continue, national championships would lose their charm and be transformed into the initial selection stages for global tournaments.
