UEFA president Michel Platini asked the G14 group of European football clubs to disband and also to drop a number of lawsuits it is supporting.
The G14 represents 18 European clubs and has come up against FIFA in its backing for court cases brought by clubs asking for compensation for players injured whilst on international duty.
Platini announced the creation of a new body to represent club interests, the Professional Football Strategy Council and asked the G14 to join the council, rather than continue as a separate body.
