Wrong UCL 24/25 sctructure

I believe you will know all opponents at the start. It is not a 'true' Swiss system. So in that sense, it's working as intended.

It's sad if it's the case, because it's not difficult to intend properly, all you need to draw strongest (by coefficient) teams from winners' pool with each other and so on

Yes, but again, it's the way UEFA is implementing it. I suspect it has more to do with scheduling than anything else.

 

Edit: what I am saying is that SI are implementing it correctly, as per the way that UEFA will actually do it.

I am not sure of that, I think that was the first proposal approved in 2021, but they approved the swiss system in 2022.

We can guess that SI has investigated and talked with UEFA before implementing this (taking into account this year's collaboration with UEFA), but I understood that it was going to be a pure swiss system. And I hope it is, it would be better.

I am trying hard to find a source from UEFA that confirms my initial post, but I am struggling. I can't find anything which confirms that it will be a pure Swiss system either. I am still of the opinion that it will not be an actual application of the Swiss system, but rather all fixtures will be confirmed at the beginning. Given the agreement between UEFA and SI, I would be very surprised if SI implemented it incorrectly.

It's not something we can implement as of yet, due to both the complexity and the fact that as of yet it's not clear whether it's going to be truly a Swiss system. We'll continue monitoring any developments going forward.
