Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to analyse and understand the reasons behind why the European Football Super League project, promoted by twelve teams from the Premier League (EPL), LaLiga and Serie A, from April 2021, has failed. In this sense, after reviewing the underlying precedents of such a phenomenon, and focusing the study from an interdisciplinary field such as geopolitics of football, the authors question whether, apart from the popular clamour against a semi-closed competition, it has been the combination of geopolitical interests of the various actors which has not let the project succeed.
