ZURICH (Reuters) - Europe's biggest clubs want more teams in UEFA competitions, such as the Champions League and Europa League, and more games for those participating, their umbrella organisation said in a statement on Wednesday.

The European Club Association (ECA), representing more than 200 of the continent's clubs, implied the expansion should be at the expense of national leagues as it called for a "re-balancing" between European and domestic competitions.
