The Champions League is under review. There will be a new mode from next season. And the drawing process will also be revolutionized. The balls are no longer drawn by hand by former players; the draw is done via computer. Kaveh Solhekol, Sky’s chief reporter from England, announced this via Twitter.
The reason: it saves time. The new mode would require drawing up to 900 balls – and that would take too long. In order to respect the time window of approximately 35 minutes, the draw will take place electronically in the future.
Is the electronic route safe?
UEFA expands the field of participants in the Premier League from 32 to 36 teams; the preliminary round is played according to a competition system. The top eight clubs qualify directly for the round of 16, places nine to sixteen will duel against places 17 to 24 in the play-offs.
Machine drawing? Is that safe? To prevent manipulation, the new software from England was scrutinized by auditors. An accounting firm will review the draw. There should also be two backup software systems.
