European Club Association(ECA) is celebrating their 10th anniversary. 

ECA was establised on 21st of January 2008 when their Association created through the signing of the first Memorandum of Understanding with UEFA. According to ECA’s Chairman Andrea Agnelli, on that day UEFA began to recognise that clubs were a credited counterpart in the building of the future of football.

Ten years ago ECA started from clean sheet, but for now ECA has managed to establish itself as a serious and well-respected stakeholder on the European football landscape and has significantly influenced the development of European club football and its governance structure. Agnelli told, that ECA’s achievements and remarkable evolution would not have been possible without its member clubs’ commitment, contribution and active participation.

ECA has 230 members from 54 national associations. Nõmme Kalju has been ECA’s member since 2017. Nõmme Kalju’s Chairman Kuno Tehva qualified to ECA Club Management Programme and he is also a member of ECA Marketing & Communications Working Group. Nõmme Kalju’s press officer Sarah Brigitta Praun belongs to ECA Womens Football Committee.
