The European Super League, previously abandoned in 2021, is reborn as the Unify League. A22 Sports Management proposes a four-league format with 96 clubs, featuring qualification through domestic leagues.
The previously abandoned European Super League is now making headlines once again, this time as the newly named Unify League . Back in 2021, Madrid-based A22- Sports Management proposed a new league comprised of Europe's top 20 clubs to directly challenge the UEFA Champions League. With the hope of creating a more inclusive tournament, A22 adjusted the original proposal to feature a three-league format of 64 clubs last December.
One year later, A22 changed its plans yet again and officially delivered a proposal to both UEFA and FIFA for the Unify League. The Unify League is the rebranded European Super League. The league would feature a four-league format comprised of 96 clubs. The clubs would have to qualify via their domestic leagues as opposed to receiving permanent spots like the original European Super League proposed. Each league would feature 32 teams each split into four groups of eight. Each team would play every other team both home and away. The top four clubs in both groups in Star and Gold would advance to the knockout rounds. The top two clubs in each group in Blue and Union would also punch their tickets to the knockout stage. Real Madrid and Juventus were instrumental in challenging UEFA and FIFA's original response to the European Super League and took the matter to the European Court of Justice. The court ruled that UEFA and FIFA violated European Union law, giving A22 the greenlight to once again push forward with the creation of a new league. It might be quite some time before other clubs come forward in support of the Unify League, especially after the loud response to the European Super League. One thing is for certain, though—the new format offers more opportunities to clubs throughout Europe that were not available in the original European Super League proposal
