Inter, Marotta joins the Executive Board of the EFC: “Proud to represent Inter and Italian football in Europe”

The election took place during the EFC General Assembly, held in Rome, and marks the recognition of the prominent role that the Inter executive has managed to secure in the European football scene.

Marotta succeeds Alessandro Antonello, former CEO of Inter and current CEO of Olympique Marseille, thus representing Italy in the highest decision-making body of the continental clubs association.

Marotta: “A great honor to represent Inter and Italian football”

In his speech following the election, Giuseppe Marotta expressed deep satisfaction with the new position, emphasizing the value of dialogue between Italian and European football.

“Representing an important club in a context where Inter plays a significant role is certainly a great satisfaction,” stated the Inter president. “I believe that Italian football is a fundamental component of European football. A more constant dialogue is needed because there is now a natural and physiological symbiosis between Europe and Italy. This must lead to greater protection of our movement, which we must defend from all points of view.”

Marotta's words reflect the desire to strengthen the presence and influence of Italian football in the main international decision-making bodies, at a historic moment of great transformation for European football institutions.

The EFC: a new era for European clubs

The birth of the European Football Clubs (EFC), replacing the ECA, represents an important step towards a more modern and shared management of continental football. The association's goal is to ensure greater representation for clubs in decisions regarding championships, international competitions, and the future of the UEFA Champions League.

With Marotta's entry into the Executive Board, Italy maintains an authoritative voice in the strategic debate of European football, confirming the weight and prestige of the national football movement.

A signal of continuity and leadership

The appointment of Giuseppe Marotta consolidates Inter's role as one of the most influential clubs at the European level. The Inter executive, a key figure in the club's corporate and sporting growth in recent years, brings to the new role his extensive experience and ability to build bridges between football institutions.

His presence within the EFC is also a signal of continuity and stability for Italian representation in Europe, following Alessandro Antonello's move to Marseille.
