So if everyone on this website's rumors come true then we are talking about a new league with a nice name for literally the 3rd best team at the major clubs. The only motivation seems to be that parents won't have to drive as far for games? This seems like a 'rec soccer' mentality to me. I want the best competition possible for my player.
What is the motivation for a team to succeed in Champions league? In Rpl, teams can be promoted for success or relegated for poor performance. In the Champions format, it seems to me that there won't be a focus on team success because what is the reward for team success. I guess the hope of the parent is that their individual daughter/son does well on a champions team and gets identified for an ECNL or DA team at their club.
This might push more motivated parents to not participate in Champions league and find a smaller club that has a RPL team, which would be that club's best team, and find better competition.
Will be interesting depending on how parents interpret this, but honestly most parents I know aren't going to be impressed if the only selling point is less travel for games.
