The European Super League was initially proposed to include 20 teams, with 15 founding clubs and 5 qualifying teams based on performance.
This format was designed to create a more competitive and financially stable environment for top European football clubs.
However, the proposal faced significant backlash from fans, football associations, and governments across Europe.
The original plan envisioned a mid-week competition that would run alongside domestic leagues.
Following widespread protests, most of the founding clubs withdrew their participation within days of the announcement. |
