After the decision of the European Court of Justice, Superliga has come back to life.
A22, the company behind the new football competition, says it will be “an open system with promotions and relegation”.
“It will be played in two stages: the championship and the final stage. Our proposition is based on sporting merit and ensures circulation between different leagues. The matches will be played in the middle of the week and the Superliga will be perfectly integrated with the national championships”, says the video published on the official website of A22.
The Superliga will have 64 teams, divided into three leagues: Star, Golden and Blue. In the first and second leagues, Star and Golden, there will be 16 clubs divided into two groups of 8 teams each; in the last one, Blue, there will be four groups with eight teams, with a total of 32 clubs.
The first part of the Superliga will take place from September to April, with the return matches between teams from the same league: so 14 matches for each team. Next will be the final stages of the three leagues, which will be held separately, starting with the quarterfinals: the best four of both groups of the Star League and the best four of the Golden League qualify. In the end, the top two from each Blue League group qualify.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals will be played in a round-robin format, while the final will be a singles match, played on a neutral court.
Thus, three champions will be announced: the champions of the Star League, the Golden League and the Blue League. The bottom two of the Stars League will be relegated to the Golden League and the top two of the Golden League will be promoted to the Stars League. The same applies to relegation and relegation from these two leagues.
Each year, 20 of the 32 Blue League teams will leave the Super League and be replaced by twenty teams, selected based on the results obtained in the national championships.
