Uefa will announce on Friday that the Europa League winners will get a place in the following season's Champions League from the 2015-16 season.

It has been rubber stamped -


The move is designed to boost interest in Europe's secondary club tournament.
The decision at Uefa's Congress follows months of talks between the governing body and the European Club Association.
Meanwhile, Berlin's Olympic Stadium has been revealed as the venue for the Champions League final in 2015, while that year's Europa League final will be held at Warsaw's National Stadium.


The Europa League generates far less income and media attention than the Champions League.
Uefa has tried a number of initiatives to increase interest, with previous attempts including changing its name from Uefa Cup to its current title in 2009.

Will it motivate clubs to do better?

[Glenn R]

I think it is a good idea. I also think it will motivate some clubs.

Also I think if the Winners, have already got a place in the Champions League for there League place. Then it would go to the runners up.
