European Super League | Civil War
What has happened to European football in the last 24 hours.
A European Super League consisting of football clubs from across Europe has been discussed since the 1990s. It has been proposed for the 2023–2024 season. FIFA and all six continental confederations, including UEFA, have rejected the formation of a breakaway league.
Twelve clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan, were named as founding members, with a further three clubs anticipated to join before the inaugural season. A 20-team league was envisioned, which would allow five clubs to qualify annually based on results from the previous season.
