The initial plan did not work out for them and that is why the European Super League now returns with a new one, determined to confront the UEFA Champions League.Therefore, they have updated and adapted their previous proposal, completely moving away from the original format of the closed competition, all in an attempt to make it more attractive to clubs and fans.’A22′, the company behind this relaunch, hasn’t presented the proposal publicly yet but submitted a request to FIFA and UEFA for authorization to proceed with the idea. According to the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union from December 2023, any competition in which the qualifications are inclusive and meritocratic and which are in accordance with the entire calendar of matches can be officially registered.🚨 BREAKING — THE SUPER LEAGUE UPDATE:The name has been changed to ‘UNIFY LEAGUE’.A22, the promoters of the competition, have sent an official letter to UEFA to get the official recognition of the tournament.The matches will be streamed for FREE, but subscriptions will also… pic.twitter.com/8Iq4QHppEv— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) December 17, 2024 Last December, the aforementioned Madrid-based company (supported by Real Madrid and its president Florentino Perez) announced that it was abandoning its 2021 plan to create a league of 20 teams with 15 permanent members, and instead proposed a new format made up of three leagues and 64 clubs. Now, 365 days later, they came out with a new, clear idea of what the competition would look like, setting out a plan for a four-league format involving 96 clubs.’A22′ believes that UEFA and FIFA will have no choice but to give it permission to launch the competition – or at least not impose any preventive penalties on clubs interested in the idea.The first, although not so important, change of the newly proposed competition concerns its name, because instead of the European Super League, it would be called the Unify League. The second relates to the format, so instead of the current three, it would be divided into four tiers – Star, Golden, Blue and Union, with 16 teams in the first two and 32 in the other two leagues.They would be divided into groups of eight clubs, playing twice against each other. In the first two leagues, the four best-placed teams from the groups would continue the competition in the knockout phase, while in the other two, the two first-placed teams from each group would go to the next elimination phase.And it would, therefore, start from the two-leg quarter-finals, followed by a one semi-final game played on a neutral ground, and in the same week as the grand final.##NAJAVA_MECA_8579548##
