The European Super League was a proposed annual club football competition that would have featured top European clubs. The announcement in April 2021 sparked immediate backlash across the football world.
Fans, players, managers, and football governing bodies expressed strong opposition to the breakaway league through social media platforms. Thousands of tweets condemned the proposal, highlighting concerns about the competitive integrity of domestic leagues and the exclusion of smaller clubs.
Within 48 hours of the announcement, all six English clubs withdrew from the project following massive public pressure. The tweets and online protests demonstrated the power of fan voices in shaping football\“s future and preserving the traditional pyramid structure of European football. |
