Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has been appointed to two influential posts within UEFA, European football's governing body.
The 48-year-old, who last year earned £2.1million from his post at the Emirates Stadium, has been named by the European Club Association (ECA) as its representative on UEFA's primary policy-making body - the UEFA professional strategy council.
As a consequence of that appointment, Gazidis will also take up a seat on the ECA executive board.
The ECA represents the interests of Europe's top 207 teams, which includes 10 sides from the Barclays Premier League.
Gazidis said: "I am delighted to be joining these important groups which are hugely influential in the future direction of the game in Europe.
"I am looking forward to representing the top European clubs in many important debates as we move ahead."
ECA chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge added: "Ivan's experience and distinct football knowledge will add a lot of value to ECA and European club football as a whole."
The appointments come following the decision of Manchester United chief executive David Gill to step down from his position on the ECA executive board.
