The European Super League is a proposed annual club football competition that would feature top teams from across Europe. It was announced in April 2021 by 12 founding clubs, but faced widespread criticism from fans, players, and governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA. The league aimed to replace or compete with existing tournaments like the UEFA Champions League, offering guaranteed spots for founding members and higher revenue shares. However, due to public backlash and threats of sanctions, most clubs withdrew shortly after the announcement, leading to its suspension. The concept has sparked debates about football governance, commercialization, and fan influence in the sport. |
