The first President was appointed by
Real Madrid soccer team
President Fiorentino assumed the role, and the 12 teams followed suit with a statement on their official websites that the European Super League season is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2022/23.
This European Super League was not agreed by UEFA and was established by the 12 clubs' own decision, i.e. a revolt, for a number of reasons in fact, but the main reason is of course money!
UEFA is actually ready to release the future of the
European crown
Expansion, the number of places to 36, after the group stage will play 10 games, these 12 clubs intentionally preempted the UEFA vote on this motion to announce the establishment of their own new league, clearly opposed to the expansion of the expansion, of course, also because of the unfair distribution of the benefits behind, UEFA to take away too much of the profits, and in the new Champions League under the severe impact of pneumonia, and now is still unable to open the fans to enter the stadium to watch the game, the loss of ticket revenues for the team has been too much of a problem for many teams in the middle, even the giants are no exception. Loss of ticket revenue has too much impact on the teams, many teams have fallen into business difficulties, which even the giants are no exception, and finally UEFA ignored the opposition of most of the giants, in order to create revenue for the insistence on expanding the army, and only then brewed up this long-existing long time conspiracy to take place (there have been similar incidents before).
This European Super League, based on what has been announced so far, is a closed
European crown
The league, which starts in August each year, will have 20 teams in total, 15 of which will be founding member teams (seniors), with the extra 5 places being decided by qualifying.
Then the 20 teams will be divided into two groups of 10 teams each, with home and away matches. The top three teams of the two groups will enter the last 8, and the remaining two places will be decided by the fourth and fifth places of the two groups through a play-off, so as to fill up the last 8. After entering the last 8, the knock-out matches will be played, with a double-legged home and away match, and the final will be decided in a neutral stage match at the end of May, which is the current prototype of this UEFA Superleague.
Anyone can see that this is actually the original
European crown
The real key is that the revenue from the tournament will be distributed among these teams, eliminating the need for UEFA to take a cut.
It's this draw that's crucial as the benefits can be astronomical, look at UEFA announcing the prize money distribution for the 19/20 season, the
European crown
League and the UEFA Super Cup (
European crown
Champions vs. Europa League Champions) totaled 3.25 billion euros, but after UEFA deducted the associated costs (I won't list the entries), only 2.04 billion was distributed to the participants in the
European crown
The entirety of the teams, note that it is the entirety of the teams that are to be allocated this money, and this includes the teams involved in the pre-season additional qualifying rounds.
The final tally ranked Paris 134 million in prize money for the 19/20 season, the
Bayern
130 million, Barcelona 104 million.
Manchester City
100 million, with the rest of the powerhouses all under 100 million euros.
And now this European Super League, how is the money distributed? According to the official information released, if you win every game, you can get up to 245 million euros, while the 15 founding seniors may get 150 million euros even if they lose every game, this revenue arrangement is relatively more than the original
European crown
The league is much higher, especially for the majority of the giants who get less than 100 million euros, this is definitely a big money-making scheme with both hands and feet, and this European Super League has the so-called founding team guarantee scheme, which is obviously to attract some of those who have not been in good condition over the years, and have been in the
European crown
Teams floating with the Europa League or in the Europa League group, as long as they are in partnership with these leading giants, the next thing you know, they are guaranteed to make 100 million euros or more every year, and it doesn't matter if they have a poor record, as long as they participate in this league they will have a high level of income, and that's a call that's hard not to take.
But UEFA couldn't just sit back and wait for the news of the establishment of the UEFA Superleague to be released, they immediately countered with a unanimous resolution to
European crown
UEFA has also issued a statement that it will sue all the big teams for 60 billion euros in damages and then ban them from participating in all UEFA tournaments, and that UEFA has already talked to FIFA and other international organizations to find out if they are going to be involved in the tournament.
national soccer team
UEFA and FIFA have joined forces, and the next counterattack is that these teams will be banned from participating in their own national leagues, the Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, and then international tournaments, and as long as the players in these giants may be banned from the UEFA Europa League and the World Cup, in the future, if the teams that have participated in the UEFA Premier League want to return to their countries to play in the league, they will have to start from the fifth tier again. In other words, it will take 4 years to get back to the top flight (this is for the 5 spots that will always be in flux, except for the 15 founding teams).
