Super League

The attempt of the Super League crumbled under the pressure of fans

European football was rocked by the biggest story in at least a generation, when 12 of Europe's biggest clubs announced plans to break away from the established football order and form a Super League. The development has the potential to remake the European football landscape dramatically, and there is still much that isn't known about what's ahead.

Greek soccer is probably returning to action early next month, as the Super League announced on Monday decided to propose to the Greek government that its playoffs start on June 6-7.

Super League referees decided on Wednesday to call off their abstention from the top flight and the Greek Cup games, originally announced until January 17, which means that this weekend's action will take place as normal after all.

The Greek Super League, the country’s professional football body, has decided to limit the competing teams from 16 to 14 from the next season by a narrow majority. The body’s board members also decided to change the structure of the end of season play-offs, with the league’s champion also participating in the mini-championship at the end of the regular season.
