The European Club Association (ECA) board, which represents more than 240 clubs from across Europe, will meet in Istanbul on Thursday, August 25.
Their first meeting of the season will be chaired by ECA president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who was named president of the association 18 months ago as a result of the fallout brought on by the European Super League.
Among the topics to be discussed at the meeting are an update on stakeholder issues, including the UEFA recovery fund, FIFA and the international match calendar, the UEFA/ECA joint venture and commercial matters.

In addition, they will discuss about the ECA Ukraine relief fund and member clubs' support for Ukrainian refugees. The approval of the 2021/22 financial accounts and the 2022/23 budget will also be on the table.
ECA will talk through the investigations opened by UEFA into 10 clubs who have failed to comply with Financial Fair Play, including Al-Khelaifi's Paris Saint-Germain.
