UEFA are reportedly considering creating their own Super League in a move that would mean the end of the Champions League.

European football’s governing body are set to discuss plans for a new competition, which would feature relegations and possible weekend games.

Uefa are planning to create their own Super League

The news comes over two years on from the failed plot to launch a European Super League to rival the Champions League.

However, Spanish newspaper El Pais now reports that Uefa and the European Club Association are refining their own idea for a Super League.

Their plans consist of three leagues made up of 18 teams each, with promotion and relegation between the divisions.

The divisions would be named the Super League, Europa League and Aspiring League, meaning an end to the Champions League.

According to the report, the plans will be discussed at the next Uefa Executive Committee meeting.

There will be four teams relegated and promoted between the second and third division, with two spots between the top two leagues.

It is understood that this comes from elite clubs not wanting the risk of relegation to be as big.

They have also requested that the relegation from the Super League is determined by an average of three or five seasons instead of one.

If put into action, the planned Super League would not begin until after the end of the 2024-27 cycle.

Plans are being drawn up for each league to be split into two groups with a final stage, to avoid clubs playing 34 matches on top of their league schedules.

Teams will be allowed to name squads of 34 players, though, in order to cope with the additional matches.

Some of those fixtures could even be played on weekends in place of international matches.

Meanwhile, winning a domestic league title or achieving a high league position could be rewarded with a cash bonus or extra points in the Super League.
