Winners and losers in Super League plan for European soccer

MONTREUX, Switzerland (AP) — It’s shaping up as perhaps the most polarizing idea in European soccer for more than a generation. The Super League project announced in the early hours Monday by 12 clubs would make winners and losers worldwide if it overcomes widespread resistance to kick off as soon as August. Club owners would expect to become richer and players to be better paid if the 20-team competition delivers the commercial revenue. Fans from outside Europe are being prioritized over supporters in their own local communities. UEFA and its current Champions League broadcast partners stand to lose the most.
