Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of the “Big Six” in Premier League?
The ‘Big Six’ refers to a group of the Premier League’s most successful and influential clubs in recent times. Manchester United and Manchester City are often included in the list. Other clubs include Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams have a reputation for a consistently high performance, a huge fan base and financial strength, as well as qualifying frequently for European competitions.
How is the Premier League determined?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Three points are given to teams for winning, one point for drawing, and no points are awarded if the team loses. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams remain level, they may use a match at a neutral stadium to decide the championship. This scenario has never been seen in Premier League.
What community initiatives is the Premier League supporting?
The Premier League sponsors a range of initiatives in the community aimed at improving people’s lives. These efforts include education, sports and development programs aimed at young people. Promoting the inclusion of groups underrepresented in football and supporting projects using football as a means to promote positive social changes are also included. Premier League’s global reach allows them to have an impact on the UK as well as beyond, and emphasizes football’s potential to contribute towards societal wellbeing.
Are there any financial regulations in place in the Premier League?
