UEFA Approves Five Subs for 2020/21 Competitions

By Adedapo Adesanya
The Union of European Football Association (UEFA) has confirmed that clubs in Europe will be allowed to make five substitutions per game for the 2020/2021 season.
This was made official by UEFA President, Mr Aleksander Ceferin, on Thursday in Budapest, Hungary.
That rule will be in place for all Champions League and Europa League matches, as well as next summer’s European Championships.
Mr Ceferin added that the finals of the 2020-21 Nations League would be played in October next year.
So far, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland had declared their interest in hosting the knockout stages of the tournament.
This decision leaves the English Premier League as the only major competition in Europe where teams can make just three substitutions per game.
Unlike England’s top flight, the Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, Germany Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 have voted in favour of keeping the five substitutions rule in place for 2020/21.
In August, premier league clubs voted against allowing teams to make five substitutions per game in the 2020/21 season.
Top-flight teams will, therefore, return to being permitted three substitutes each per game, while the number of players allowed on the bench will return to seven, in line with pre-coronavirus regulations.
Last season, as the clubs prepared for Project Restart amid coronavirus lockdown restrictions, they voted to allow five substitutions and increase the matchday squad from 18 to 20 to help players deal with a condensed schedule.
Business Post reported that the International Football Association Board (IFAB) gave leagues the opportunity to extend those conditions for another season.

Tether Buys Minority Stake in Serie A Football Club Juventus

By Adedapo Adesanya
Digital asset giant, Tether, has acquired a minority stake in Italian football club, Juventus, as it makes further plays into the sports investment space.
According to a statement on Friday, the investment followed the unveiling of its long-term strategic vision, which spans from leading the digital asset industry with USDt to acquiring and developing leading companies in the Artificial Intelligence (AI), bitcoin mining and biotech spaces.
Now, Tether is uniquely positioned to integrate its futuristic portfolio into the realms of the sports industry.
While blockchain technology has featured prominently in professional sports with a view to enhancing the fan experience, Tether’s acquisition of a minority ownership stake in Juventus is looking forward to delivering a sports-digital asset synergy at a new level.
Drawing from its investment arm, which sits outside of the stablecoin reserves, Tether is looking at its strategic investments in sports franchises worldwide and integrating its digital assets, payments, and newly acquired AI and biotech expertise into the sports industry and assembling a top-tier advisory team for this initiative.
In particular, Tether is collaborating with leading figures such as Mr Juan Sartori, given his involvement with Sunderland AFC, extensive tenure at AS Monaco Football Club, and the European Club Association.
This acquisition also marks a significant milestone in Tether’s goal of integrating stablecoins, digital assets, and human-first technology into everyday life.
This builds on Tether’s previous initiatives with professional sports clubs. Last year, Plan ₿, an initiative founded by Tether and the City of Lugano, announced its official sole kit sponsorship of FC Lugano, a professional football club that competes in the Swiss Super League.
This sponsorship, coupled with Tether’s minority stake in the Serie A side, also underscores Tether’s dedication to promoting blockchain technology and stablecoin adoption in mainstream sectors such as the sports industry.
“Aligned with our strategic investment in Juve, Tether will be a pioneer in merging new technologies, such as digital assets, AI, and biotech, with the well-established sports industry to drive change globally. We will explore avenues for innovative collaborations and the potential to revolutionize the global sports landscape.” said Mr Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
