‘It is a big shock’ – CF Montreal’s Wanyama condemns creation of Super League

Kenya international Victor Wanyama has condemned the failed Super League plans.

Three days ago, the football world was rocked when the announcement of a breakaway Super League featuring Europe's most elite clubs was made but the move failed to get off the ground. A number of clubs withdrew less than 48 hours after their participation was confirmed.

The Super League concept was sought to establish a new competition involving 20 clubs - with 15 permanent ones, called the "founding clubs" - and five guest teams who would be selected for involvement each season based on the results of their previous domestic seasons.
