  • The original Super League was launched in 2021 but quickly collapsed amid fan protests and opposition from continental and global governing bodies.

The article discusses UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's call for the swift passage of the Football Governance Bill in response to a new breakaway league attempt by A22 Sports Management, which is promoting a European Super League. This comes after the European Court of Justice ruled that UEFA and FIFA contravened EU law by blocking the formation of the Super League in 2021. Starmer emphasized the need for an independent regulator to protect football clubs and fans from such breakaway threats, highlighting the importance of football's cultural and community significance. The bill aims to ensure clubs are financially sustainable, well-run, and fan-centered, preventing scenarios like the proposed Super League from undermining the traditional football pyramid.
