The new organisaion has been formed following the break-up of the G14.

And under Uefa's ranking system, England - along with Italy and Spain - are entitled to have five clubs on the board.

Newcastle have been given that fifth spot, to join the 'big four' of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Scotland has also been granted an extra place, with Hearts joining Celtic and Rangers at the table.

A total of 103 clubs are included - all of Uefa's 53 associations have a minimum of one representative.

The new body has been formed with the approval of Uefa.
