    UEFA reveal new schedule for qualifiers

    International qualifiers will be played across six days between Thursdays and Tuesdays from 2014 to maximise TV coverage and broadcast income, UEFA have announced.

    The move will see national teams having just a two-day break between matches in World Cup and European Championship double-headers, in what is being dubbed The Week of Football.

    Teams will play either Thursdays and Sundays, Fridays and Mondays, or Saturdays and Tuesdays. Most double-headers are currently being played on Fridays and Tuesdays - leaving the weekends without football.

    If the system was in place this weekend, there'd be a games on tonight and the next 5 nights. I have to say it's a brilliant idea. Ending the August friendly and combining the November and March friendly dates is another good move.
