💣New competition: Super League's proposal to UEFA | OneFootball

In a recent revelation, Mundo Deportivo reported that the Super League has submitted its final proposal to UEFA for a restructured Champions League. After seven meetings, both parties have moved closer together with the intention of avoiding the launch of a parallel and independent tournament. The new competition would retain the name “Champions League” and, if approved, would begin in 2027.

According to the report, over the past eight months, secret talks have taken place between UEFA, the company A22, and executives from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The main objective has been to reach a peace agreement that guarantees an attractive format for all parties involved.

The proposal focuses on two fundamental pillars: a global broadcasting platform open to the public and a sporting format very similar to the current one. In this regard, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only clubs that still firmly support the project, with Florentino Pérez as its main driving force.

As for the structure, the tournament would feature 36 teams, divided into two groups according to the UEFA coefficient ranking. The top 18 would face each other, while those ranked 19 to 36 would compete separately, aiming for greater competitive balance.

Finally, the competition would be broadcast through UNIFY, a platform with both free and premium versions. This broadcasting system seeks to broaden access for fans and increase revenue. The final decision on the approval of the project will fall to UEFA, which must make a statement before the next commercial cycle in 2027.
