Arsenal chief Gazidis appointed to Uefa executive committee

Arsenal chief exec Ivan Gazidis has been appointed to Uefa's executive committee as one of two representatives from the European Club Association.

Gazidis will join new ECA chairman Andrea Agnelli on the ExCo, and becomes the second representative from the English game, alongside former Manchester United boss David Gill.

The ECA is the successor organisation to the G-14 group of Europe's most powerful clubs and now represents the interests of 220 clubs from 53 countries.

They also elected 11 board members and named its four representatives to Uefa's professional football strategy council.

The four representatives are Barcelona's Josep Maria Bartomeu, Ed Woodward of Manchester United, PSG's Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Celtic boss Peter Lawwell.
