The European Super League – remember that? Well, it's back and bigger than before.
A22, the company formed to sponsor and assist with the creation of the league, revealed its new plans for the ESL earlier on Thursday and they have gone down like a lead balloon as predicted. The latest serving would comprise of up to an 80-team competition with a multi-divisional format in the future. With a larger number of teams included in the latest creation it means teams like Celtic and Rangers could be included in a bid to sway smaller nations to participate.
Team would need to qualify for the tournament through their domestic leagues but it seems as if it’s another money spinner for the bigger clubs across the continent. UEFA and FIFA both hit out at the last launch in 2021 and they are likely to do the same again this time. Football fans will all remember the outcry the last time the ESL was launched and it seems the anger is being repeated nearly two years later.
