“The members of the European Club Association (ECA) gathered for a virtual conference on Sunday evening and confirmed the board decision of last Friday remains valid,” Watzke said in a statement released on Dortmund’s website.

“Both German clubs who are represented on the ECA board, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, have been 100% in agreement in all discussions.”
