And while any changes are far off, or might not even come to pass at all, there are dramatic proposals to be discussed.One big change is believed to be the rescheduling of Champions League matches from their current midweek time slot to a prime time weekend schedule, thus replacing domestic league fixtures over specific weekends. However, according to the Associated Press, this change is unlikely with UEFA ruling out such a proposal despite interest from clubs.Talks are also due to be held over a restructuring of the Champions League qualification format with a promotion and relegation system, which would close the elite off and make it harder for smaller teams to book their place in Europe’s premier cup competition.
