The European Super League backers have announced that they want to launch a new version of the project which failed two years ago. The competition's chief executive has proposed a new-look, open European Super League which could contain up to 80 teams in a multi-divisional format
The competition would be based on sporting performance only with no permanent members. Teams would be guaranteed a minimum of 14 matches per season, A22 chief executive Bernd Reichart told German newspaper Die Welt.
A22, a company formed to sponsor and assist with the creation of the Super League, has consulted with nearly 50 European clubs since October, and have developed 10 principles which underpin its plan for a new-look league.
