UEFA Lose Battle Against Superleague - New Superleague Format Announced
- ECJ Ruling: The European Court of Justice ruled that UEFA cannot block the creation of a Super League.
- Super League Format: The proposed Super League would have 64 teams across three divisions with promotion and relegation, aiming to replace existing UEFA tournaments.
- Low Likelihood: Despite the ruling and new format, it's highly improbable the Super League will materialize due to lack of support from major European clubs.
Update: Supporters of the creation of a super league have won a partial victory in the dispute. The ECJ ruled that Uefa could not prohibit such a competition. A Super League could be legal, even though it's extremely unlikely to ever happen with all the big European clubs in the foreseeable future.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) today have ruled that clubs have the right to freely discuss and propose new European competition formats. Following the decision, A22 Sports Management, the Super League's agency, directly announced their new format for a potential new European competition.
First and foremost, it is extremely unlikely that the Super League will happen, with all clubs except Barcelona and Real Madrid having stepped back after fan protests.
The Super League wants 64 teams to compete in 3 divisions - it is their ambition to replace UEFA's current three European Cup tournaments: Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
The 64 teams would be competing in 3 divisions divided as follows:
- Star League (Division 1): 16 teams (Divided into two groups of 8 teams each)
- Gold League (Division 2): 16 teams (same as 1st place)
- Blue League (3rd place): 32 teams (Divided into 4 groups, each with 8 teams)
- Each team will play 14 matches, including 7 home and 7 away.
- Will include relegation and promotion every season
- Each season is divided into stages: Round robin in the group stage, then play-offs based on rankings to compete for the league championship.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
