The European Super League concept refers to a proposed annual club football competition intended to replace the UEFA Champions League. It was announced in April 2021 by twelve founding clubs, but faced widespread criticism from fans, players, and governing bodies due to its closed format, which threatened the traditional pyramid structure of European football. The concept aimed to guarantee participation and revenue for elite clubs, but it was seen as undermining meritocracy and domestic leagues. Following strong backlash, most clubs withdrew, and the project was suspended, though legal battles continue over its future. |
