In recent days, the SuperLeague project has resurfaced. She introduced herself with a new name and a new model. Nasser al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, tackled this new Superleague project.
Three and a half years ago, many clubs, initiated by
Florentino Perez and the Real
Madridattempted to create a Super league to challenge theUEFA and its Champions League. But the project quickly fell through, with many clubs withdrawing after the outcry from supporters and certain clubs who castigated this new competition. In recent days, the promoter A22 Sports Management came back and presented his new
Super league with a new name, The Unify

It is no longer a question of a closed league, but of a meritocratic system concerning each season 96 teams, from 55 different countries, divided into four different leagues: the Star Leaguethe Gold Leaguethe Blue League and theUnion League. Four distinct divisions and therefore four trophies at stake, which makes this model not so divergent from the European Cups.Europe current.

We won't value this publicity stunt, nor the attention their founders and backers desperately seek.«
