The decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that UEFA and FIFA violated community law by vetoing the Super League, exercising a position of “dominant abuse”. Now, the project it supports Florentino Pérez and Joan Laporta, can be started. Madrid and Barça are the only teams that have not abandoned the initial idea that emerged since April 2021, now corrected in the competition format. “open and completely meritocratic.”
What would the competition be like?
It went from being exclusive and closed (there were only 12 clubs) to designing a 64-team tournament.is divided into three Leagues, allowing each to play at least 14 matches. The meetings will be broadcast free of charge over the internet.
There will be promotions and relegations, so the initial bid for 2021 will be much more restrictive and will merge with the Champions League reform originally introduced in 2019. The women’s competition will feature 32 teams divided into two leagues.
“It will be an open and completely meritocratic format,” Barca president Joan Laporta said, denying there would be a clash between UEFA and LaLiga. “This is a historic opportunity and Barcelona will encourage innovative ways,” commented the leader, after leaving the special fortress that enabled the rise of the Super League (the majors have never been relegated to one category).
The idea is to launch it in the 2025-26 season. interestingly it coincides with the opening of the new Camp Nou.
Who was part of the project? So who’s left now?
Madrid and Barça. Florentino and Laporta. There is no one left from the first group of 12 clubs that started the project. There should have been 14 but Paris SG and Bayern Munich They quickly abandoned the idea. They openly disagreed, criticized the project, sided with UEFA, and even took an aggressive role.
Hours after Florentino announced the Super League on his TV show ‘El Chiringuito’, six English clubs defected: Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. Just two days later (April 2021) he too left Milan. Inter took longer (March 2022) and Juve took the final turn (June 2023). Barça and Madrid were left alone.
The organizers of the Super League state that English clubs do not ignore this.It is added to the project, just like they did in the days when the old European Cup started.
What financial contributions can it make?
Money. A lot of money. How much? Laporta did not want to give figures on what joining the Super League would meanAlthough this would significantly help alleviate the serious economic crisis the party is experiencing. There is no official figure for now, but there is an estimated figure revealed by El País newspaper, ranging from 350 million, with the clubs that will receive the most and the teams that will receive 225, with 100. million and another 112 million. However, no wage has been determined in the Super League.
This will also help Barça have the financial strength to cope with the challenges posed by the football industry this century. “This is coming to develop men’s and women’s football because it will allow them to compete with clubs that have unlimited resources and in some cases are outside the world of football,” Laporta said.
