What is the European Super League?

 It's meant to be a supplementary competition to each club's domestic league, similar to how the UEFA Champions League operates now. The difference is that the core ESL teams would not have to qualify to compete, as they do now.

A dozen of the world’s richest and most storied soccer clubs on Sunday announced that they had formed a breakaway European club competition that would, if it comes to fruition, upend the structures, economics and relationships that have bound global soccer for nearly a century.

The football world was in total shock and the UEFA COMMITEE HAS announced the banning of the participating clubs in the super league from world cup and other Uefa based competition. Perez reiterated his view that the ESL was created "to save football", having also previously said the move had been made because young people were "no longer interested in football" because of "a lot of poor quality games.

How will the new competition work? Proposals have included a 20-team league, made up of 15 permanent members and five who would qualify annually. This format would see two groups of 10 clubs, with the top four from each group going through to a knockout phase that would be similar to the current Champions League

There have been many reasons about why there has been so much backlash to the Super League, but the overwhelming issues are that the competition is elitist and exclusionary, removing healthy competition, and that the owners of the clubs involved seem to be more fuelled by financial reasons than by a genuine love

Key elements include the automatic qualification of 15 clubs every year, the threat to the domestic leagues around Europe, and impact on clubs' fans. FIFA, the game's world governing body, has said it won't recognise the competition and that players who play in the ESL could be denied the chance to play at a World Cup.
