European Super League promoter confident Uefa will accept new plans

‘Unify League’ seeks governing body endorsement
Original plans collapsed in 2021 following fan protests

The promoter of the Super League’s latest proposed iteration is confident that it will receive authorisation from Uefa to proceed with its plan in the new year.

In what has become an unlikely Christmas tradition, A22 resurfaced on Tuesday with plans for a rebranded Unify League almost exactly a year after unveiling its previous concept for the breakaway project. It believes that a refined product, comprising four leagues and 96 clubs in its men’s edition, would negate previous objections and satisfy the criteria for formal permission to go ahead.
