ResumoWill European football keep leagues open, or adopt the American system of closed leagues? Would this reform be to the benefit of consumers? This chapter develops a framework to analyse the consequences of the structure of competition — whether teams play in both national and international competitions or not — and the effects on performance of revenue sharing among teams within the same league. The authors argue in favour of the creation of a European Superleague and against teams playing both in the Superleague and in national leagues. They derive a number of policy conclusions and examine various regulatory issues in European football.
