The European Club Association Executive Board has dismissed rumours of a possible European 'Super League' being created.
Reports on Tuesday suggested Uefa was ready to listen to proposals from top European teams regarding the creation of a continental league.
It was suggested a 'Super League' would replace the UEFA Champions League and Uefa Cup and it would be made up of three divisions with 20-22 teams in each tier.
However, The ECA has moved quickly to reject the notion of a 'Super League' being implemented.
A statement from the ECA read: "The ECA Executive Board, assembled in Amsterdam for its regular meeting, wants to dismiss the content of articles published today in some of the major sports newspapers in Europe.
"These articles mention plans for a future "Super League".
"We have never had any intention of implementing such a competition. We have never discussed it and it has never been on our agenda.
"The only meeting last week to which ECA representatives took part was the Uefa Professional Football Strategy Council, together with Fifa, FIFPro and EPFL.
"The ECA is very happy with the existing European competitions and regrets these unfounded rumours which can only damage the harmony in the European football family."
