According to the rumours, the founders have this time decided that the ESL should be an open competition. There is, of course, understandable opposition from many of European football’s biggest leaders to the idea of the competition.
New European Super League Format:
- No permanent members
- Team qualified by results it obtains in league
- 20 members
- All leagues will have chance to win a place through qualifying
- Second league of 20 members
- Reduced number of matches
The new format of Super League is to abandon the idea of permanent members. From a legal point of view, it would be necessary that the 6 PL clubs – who don’t want to return, as well as Atletico, Inter & AC Milan, agree to this change.
