5 reasons why the European Super League needs to happen
2. The Super League Will be More Accessible for Fans
While UEFA say football is about fans, they have done everything possible to distance the fans and make it more complicated to support their teams. Setting finals in distanced locations when the finalists usually come from the top leagues or even the same countries and unfairly distributing the tickets with most of them going to UEFA sponsors.
For example, in 2019, the all-English Champions League and Europa League finals were played in stadiums that had a capacity of more than 67,000 spectators. However, the Champions League finalists were both only allocated 16,000 tickets, while the finalists of the Europa League received 6,000 each. It should also be mentioned that those allocated tickets are what the clubs receive, which then keep a certain portion for players, coaches, and staff. To add insult to injury, the Europa League final was played all the way in Azerbaijan between clubs from the same city.
Although the Super League members will without question have their financial interest, the idea of creating this is also to give the fans a more exciting and appealing competition. While the location for the final and ticket distribution are still uncertain, the Super League would change the way the fans can watch the games. As revealed in the Super League contract leaked by Der Spiegel, each team would be allowed to show four games on the club’s own site, app, and TV channel. Making it easier for the fans to watch their teams.
