The European Super League: How It Operates and Its Implications for Premier League Clubs
A22 Sports Management has revived its bid for a European Super League, addressing the criticisms that halted the 2021 attempt.
The European Court of Justice has ruled that FIFA and UEFA cannot block the league, describing their past interventions as monopolistic.
The proposed Super League would feature a men's and women's competition with a league and knockout format. The men's division would consist of 64 teams across three levels, with promotion and relegation to maintain competition.
The women's league would follow a similar structure with two levels and 32 teams. All matches would be streamed on a single platform for free, with revenue generated through advertising.
For British teams, new legislation is being fast-tracked to block participation in such breakaway leagues, making the involvement of UK clubs unlikely despite the ECJ's ruling.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Chelsea, originally part of the Super League proposal, along with other European giants, are affected by the developments.
