The Union of European Teams (UEC), which was established on Monday with the goal of representing "small and medium-sized" football teams in a market dominated by a wealthy elite, is something that the Hamrun Spartans are considering joining, according to sources from Sportsdesk.

The newly crowned Premier League champions stated in a statement that Victor Cassar, Head of the International Relations Unit, who was established to improve the club's European network, represented the club at Monday's unveiling.

The UEC was established in Brussels, where it would keep its headquarters, and stated that its goal was "to give a voice" to the roughly 1,400 professional clubs in Europe that lack appropriate representation in the sport's governing bodies due to their lack of participation in any of UEFA's three club championships.

Ħamrun Spartans CEO Marcel Bonnici said in a statement, “Our club has been invited to attend the launch of the Union of European Clubs on Monday, April 24, in Brussels Belgium. The programme includes a visit to Royal Union St Gilloise, home of Maltese international Teddy Teuma.’’

The Spartans claimed that they had previously agreed to join the European Club Association (ECA) Network earlier this year.

“Our club will be represented by Victor Cassar as Head of International Relations. This new Club Association will be representing small and medium-sized clubs around Europe. The scope is to give a broader representation and a stronger voice to clubs who are not amongst the European elite.”

Additionally, according to Bonnici, the club intends to announce a number of collaborative agreements with important European clubs.

Since no management team has been chosen and no published statutes have been released, the UEC’s actual structure is still unknown.

At the UEC's introduction, Union Saint-Gilloise of the Belgian league, Lokomotiv Zagreb of Croatia, and Premier League team Crystal Palace had already signed up, making part of 40 clubs from 25 different nations.

The organisation declared its intention to work "in addition to" the influential European Club Association (ECA), which was established in 2008 and has more than 300 members. The ECA is the only organisation now in existence that represents the continent's clubs on UEFA's executive committee.
