No changes to Champions League format, UEFA says after talks with Super League promotersUEFA said on Thursday it had held informal discussions with A22 Sports Management, the company behind plans to revive a European Super League, but stressed that no changes were being considered to the format of its elite club competition. "We categorically reaffirm that there are no plans to change the format of the UEFA Champions League." Media reports said earlier on Thursday that A22 had entered exploratory talks with UEFA officials to discuss a possible framework for a new competition. However, football bodies and national leagues have consistently opposed the idea, warning it could undermine the European football pyramid. The original Super League project collapsed in 2021 after a backlash from fans, governments and the wider football community.
