New ESL proposal: Up to 80 teams, divided into categories and a minimum of 14 European matches

by

It is coming back and even… dynamically European Super Leaguemaking a new proposal for the establishment of the new European league that will “set aside” the Champions League and the rest of its competitions UEFA.

Her new proposal ESL it is based on ten points, which it analyzes in order to understand the ideas of the “company”.

1. Unlike the previous proposal controversially backed by England’s so-called big six, membership “should be based on annual sporting merit and there should be no permanent members”. Essentially, the teams will enter based on competition criteria from the respective league. The plan is for 60-80 teams to participate, which will be divided into categorieswhich is what happens now in the UEFA competitions (Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League).

2. This is a secession from UEFA and its competitions, but not from the domestic leagues. Essentially, the teams will participate in both their leagues and the ESL, while the respective football federations will not be able to impose sanctions on the teams that will reach the elimination.

3. Each club participating in the ESL will play at least 14 European games. Clubs will be divided into tiers and have greater revenue: “The stability and predictability of revenue would be dramatically improved by offering clubs at least 14 guaranteed European matches.”

4. A total limit on matches: “It is important that European clubs and players are not forced to participate in expanded or new tournaments imposed by third parties.” This report is on FIFA’s various proposals to extend the World Cup and on UEFA’s plan to extend the UCL. Somehow, there will be less burden on the footballers since they will play a reasonable number of games.

5. A tournament that will be managed by the clubs and not by external actors. The idea is to have a Premier League style club ownership system, but with more safeguards. “The governance structure must be fully compatible with EU law.”

6. European organization… of long duration. The rapid growth of the Premier League’s overseas TV rights has been fueled by a boom in interest in the US market. “It is also important that younger generations continue to embrace football as the most loved sport in the world.” The rapid growth of the Premier League’s television rights has been fueled overseas by the … explosion of interest in the US market. “It is also important that younger generations continue to embrace football as the most loved sport in the world.”

7. A scheme to assist fans traveling to away matches. “Additional measures should be taken to facilitate the attendance of fans at away games.”

8. Financial support for women’s football. It is not clear whether European secession would have a similar provision for women’s football. “Funding should be extended significantly beyond existing contributions from European women’s club organisations.”

9. Strengthening of financing. At least €400m per year will be paid into the competition, which is “more than double the contribution from existing European club competitions”.

10. Alignment of secession with the EU. With their avowed commitment to the EU, A22 may forego the launch without the involvement of English clubs. “Stakeholders must embrace EU values, laws and fundamental freedoms,” the group says.
