GENEVA (AP) — UEFA is facing pushback against its overhaul of the Champions League and will review its plans next month.

UEFA tells The Associated Press its Club Competitions Committee will meet on May 10. That committee makes formal proposals for approval by the UEFA executive committee. They will meet later that same day in Vienna. UEFA agreed last year under pressure from the rebel Super League project to steer more Champions League entries and games to storied clubs.
