Twelve European football clubs have signed up to a new competition called the European Super League. <br />The new proposal is set to rival the highly regarded UEFA Champions League. <br />Six of the teams involved are from the Premier League, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. <br />Three further clubs are expected to join ahead of the inaugural season and the league says it can start "as soon as practicable". <br />Football players, fans and politicians have expressed their outrage at the new competition proposal. <br />The league revealed in an official statement how excited they were about their new adventure. <br />“[We] look forward to holding discussions with UEFA and FIFA to work together in partnership to deliver the best outcomes for the new League and for football as a whole".
