The group behind a proposed breakaway European soccer competition is back.
They have a new name for their tournament, too, calling it the Unify League this time.
The latest idea for an elite competition for the biggest teams in Europe is being put forward by Madrid-based A22 Sports Management, which is seeking to change the face of the sport in its most lucrative market by creating a rival for the Champions League and other UEFA tournaments.
It comes nearly four years after the initial plan of a European Super League was ambitiously launched and then quickly quashed. It's been a rocky journey, to say the least, and there's still a long way to go before a breakaway league comes to fruition — if it ever does.
