So Bayern, PSG, Dortmund

PSG won't join. They are owned by Qatar and Qatar just bought a World Cup from FIFA.

Maldini get me Haland nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Also players from non-super teams will probably be attracted with big fat contracts from super teams.

This is brilliant. Fuck Uefa.

im prolly the least knowledgable about fifa uefa i dont even know the difference between those 2 and dont care either
but dont they organize all forms of football atm and they are saying they will ban players etc ban teams blabla

so unless we have to halt global football (domestic leauge bans and national team bans) till florentino has made a replacement if hes even capable

or are the super leauge players content with not playing for their country? and there is no real answer for being banned from domestic leauge if fifa/uefa holds control over those through the leauge federations (wich im assuming they do)
correct me if im wrong

They can't really do anything. This has been planned for more than a decade now and it's definitely going through.

All UEFA can do right now is reshape the UCL and the UEL for the teams that will continue participating in it.

This sounds familiar, we've already been there, dreaming we're rich and about to dominate the world after sold us, just when the team was gaining some stability, another earthquake lol

When the discussion was academic, it was fun... now thats its in motion...



@ACMilan

Remember when Maldini said that it won't be disaster if we don't qualify for Champions League? We know why he said that hehehehe

Uefa/Fifa wont win. They either cave to the super teams' demands or risk being the victim of the biggest financial coup in history.

-Fifa wont start the world cup without Messi, Ronaldo, etc..
-Super teams will attract players from non-super teams with big uncapped fat contracts. Haland will likely leave this summer for example.
-Super League will easily steal viewers from the Uefa tournaments with big fixtures every week if they do indeed play at the same time. Would you rather watch Madrid vs. Juventus or Sevilla vs. Leicester?

Uefa are fucked, and their statement is that of a desperate man attempting to instill fear and threats. They already lost.

The ESL project is financed by J.P. Morgan with ?3.5bn paid up front to the 15 founding clubs. The clubs alone intend to be the shareholders of the European Super League.

money talks bitch.

LEADING EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CLUBS ANNOUNCE NEW SUPER LEAGUE COMPETITION
Twelve of Europe?s leading football clubs have today come together to announce they have agreed to establish a new mid-week competition, the Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs.

AC Milan, Arsenal FC, Atl?tico de Madrid, Chelsea FC, FC Barcelona, FC Internazionale Milano, Juventus FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid CF and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs. It is anticipated that a further three clubs will join ahead of the inaugural season, which is intended to commence as soon as practicable.

Going forward, the Founding Clubs look forward to holding discussions with UEFA and FIFA to work together in partnership to deliver the best outcomes for the new League and for football as a whole.

The formation of the Super League comes at a time when the global pandemic has accelerated the instability in the existing European football economic model. Further, for a number of years, the Founding Clubs have had the objective of improving the quality and intensity of existing European competitions throughout each season, and of creating a format for top clubs and players to compete on a regular basis.

The pandemic has shown that a strategic vision and a sustainable commercial approach are required to enhance value and support for the benefit of the entire European football pyramid. In recent months extensive dialogue has taken place with football stakeholders regarding the future format of European competitions. The Founding Clubs believe the solutions proposed following these talks do not solve fundamental issues, including the need to provide higher-quality matches and additional financial resources for the overall football pyramid.

Competition Format
20 participating clubs with 15 Founding Clubs and a qualifying mechanism for a further five teams to qualify annually based on achievements in the prior season.
Midweek fixtures with all participating clubs continuing to compete in their respective national leagues, preserving the traditional domestic match calendar which remains at the heart of the club game.
An August start with clubs participating in two groups of ten, playing home and away fixtures, with the top three in each group automatically qualifying for the quarter finals. Teams finishing fourth and fifth will then compete in a two-legged play-off for the remaining quarter-final positions. A two-leg knockout format will be used to reach the final at the end of May, which will be staged as a single fixture at a neutral venue.
As soon as practicable after the start of the men?s competition, a corresponding women?s league will also be launched, helping to advance and develop the women?s game.

The new annual tournament will provide significantly greater economic growth and support for European football via a long-term commitment to uncapped solidarity payments which will grow in line with league revenues. These solidarity payments will be substantially higher than those generated by the current European competition and are expected to be in excess of ?10 billion during the course of the initial commitment period of the Clubs. In addition, the competition will be built on a sustainable financial foundation with all Founding Clubs signing up to a spending framework. In exchange for their commitment, Founding Clubs will receive an amount of ?3.5 billion solely to support their infrastructure investment plans and to offset the impact of the COVID pandemic.

Florentino P?rez, President Real Madrid CF and the first Chairman of the Super League said:

?We will help football at every level and take it to its rightful place in the world. Football is the only global sport in the world with more than four billion fans and our responsibility as big clubs is to respond to their desires.?

Backing the new European league, Andrea Agnelli, Chairman of Juventus and Vice-Chairman of the Super League said:

?Our 12 Founder clubs represent billions of fans across the globe and 99 European trophies. We have come together at this critical moment, enabling European competition to be transformed, putting the game we love on a sustainable footing for the long-term future, substantially increasing solidarity, and giving fans and amateur players a regular flow of headline fixtures that will feed their passion for the game while providing them with engaging role models.?

Joel Glazer, Co-Chairman of Manchester United and Vice-Chairman of the Super League said:

?By bringing together the world?s greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season, the Super League will open a new chapter for European football, ensuring world-class competition and facilities, and increased financial support for the wider football pyramid.?

there he is
