Here's who would qualify for the European Super League – based on current club coefficient
We don't have all the details on the European Super League – but this multi-divisional competition could look like this
The new European Super League has been announced – and fans all over Europe are wondering how it will affect them.
The new competition was announced this morning, with the key principles of qualification to the tournament promised. While the format of the tournament is as yet unknown, we know that the European Super League would consist of multiple divisions and between 60 and 80 teams. Teams will apparently play a minimum of 14 games a season.
So assuming that that's four tiers of 15 teams each… who would be involved based on UEFA coefficient?
UEFA coefficient isn't a clear science for determining who would play in a Super League. We don't even know the competition structure, let alone how the qualification would work.
But what it does provide us with is a clear idea of the 15 biggest teams in European competition right now – followed by the next 15, and so on and so on. This new competition may not have permanent members but it could well be formed of similar groups of clubs to this layout.
