Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano is pushing forward with his plans to influence the sport.
The United Arab Emirates-owned club are the current holders of the European Cup.
Having won a historic treble last term, City are now growing their influence in the boardroom as well.
Soriano is being elected to the European Club Association board this week.
He is also the CEO of City and the City Football Group's sister clubs New York City FC and Melbourne City.
City are still facing 115 Premier League charges regarding financial irregularities spanning more than a decade.
Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham is another who is on the board of the ECA.
