December 18 – The European Super League (ESL) is dead in name only. It’s backer, A22 Sports Management, has proposed an alternative league hierarchy compromising 95 clubs across four leagues.
Branded as the ‘Unify League’, it sees its revenues underpinned by its same-named ‘Unify’ streaming platform.
A22 has applied to UEFA and FIFA for official recognition of its pan-European club leagues and believes that its proposal aligns with the Court of Justice of the European Union ruling in December 2023 that a competition where qualification is inclusive and is not a closed or franchised league can be officially established.
