A22, the company who supported the failed European Super League, have put forward a new proposal for men's and women's European com Pet itions. The European Court of Justice ruled on Thursday morning that attempts from UEFA and FIFA to ban clubs from joining a breakaway European Super League was unlawful, though the judgment did not mean a new league would "necessarily be approved". The new proposal would involve 64 men's clubs across three leagues - the Star League, the Gold League and the Blue League - and would be based on sporting merit, rather than involving permanent members. The two top tiers would include 16 clubs, with the bottom rung involving 32, and would be available to watch via a new digital streaming platform.
