The Superleague is a proposed annual club football competition that aims to feature some of the world's most prestigious football clubs. It was first announced in April 2021, intending to create a league that would operate independently from existing competitions like the UEFA Champions League. The idea was to generate more revenue and provide a consistent platform for top teams to compete against each other. The initial announcement faced significant backlash from fans, football associations, and governing bodies, leading to the withdrawal of several founding clubs. Despite the controversy, the concept of the Superleague continues to spark discussions about the future of club football and the balance between commercial interests and traditional competitions.
