Despite the widespread dissent and boycott from multiple European clubs, The Super League shows an unwavering persistence in its activities. Furthermore, substantial progress has been reported recently as its Chief, Anas Laghrari, has announced that a preliminary agreement with 20 teams to participate in the league has been reached. This raises the question of which teams comprise this Group of 20.

Under privacy considerations, Mr. Laghrari chose not to disclose the specifics of these teams’ identities at present. Nevertheless, considering the progress made in recent years, let us analyze the potential candidates for these 20 teams.

Napoli is another club that has publicly endorsed Florentino Perez’s vision. To date, no other official confirmations have been forthcoming from any other clubs regarding their intentions for engagement with the Super League.

However, discussion surrounding potential interest emanates beyond Europe’s Top 5 leagues. Clubs situated within Turkey, Belgium, and Portugal are reportedly considering aligning with this novel league structure. Furthermore, there are teams like Inter Milan and Juventus who initially declined to participate in the league.

However, given their current financial struggles, there is a significant possibility for them to reconsider their decision and make a U-turn. Moreover, despite participation refusals from the English Premier League’s Big Six, there could be intriguing shifts on that front.
