First announced in April 2021, the European Super League was a controversial planned soccer competition to be contested among a select group of 20 clubs from across the European domestic leagues. Many fans, pundits, and players have spoken out against the proposed league, stating that the new setup would be against the competitive nature of the current leagues and competitions, and that it was a "closed shop" for some of Europe's richest clubs. During an April 2021 survey in the United Kingdom, around 73 percent of football fans stated that the owners of the football clubs should be the ones punished if sanctions for joining the European Super League were brought in on member clubs.
