The European Super League has teams reporting interest from different countries across the continent. At the time of its original announcement, clubs in England, Italy, Spain and France signed on for the controversial competition. Many of those clubs backtracked after their fans protested the idea. Now, the league is testing the waters to see how many people in different countries support the development of the European Super League.
A22, the organizing body behind the European Super League, conducted a survey across Europe to gauge people’s opinions on the European Super League. That is something massively important to remember. The OpinionWay survey for A22 polled 6,458 people who identified as football fans. This comes out to roughly 800 people from eight countries. Those are France, Germany, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal. There is a chance the construction of the survey or the selection of fans could be biased in favor of A22 and the Super League.
Regardless, the results of the survey are interesting to consider. The survey found 72% of the 6,458 people said they favored the Super League. OpinionWay stated the countries with the highest approval of the league were Spain (84%), Portugal (81%) and Italy (80%). That would make sense, as those nations still have clubs actively pursuing the European Super League. For example, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are still working to bring the Super League to life.
Yet, the survey also listed that majorities in the United Kingdom (65%) and Germany (61%) favored the establishment of the European Super League. Both the United Kingdom and Germany had droves of fans actively protest the European Super League when it first hit the headlines.
