National League Pushes for Third Promotion Spot to English Football League

The '3UP' campaign seeks to align promotion rules with other football divisions, citing fairness and financial sustainability.

  • The National League has launched the '3UP' campaign, advocating for three promotion spots to League Two, up from the current two.
  • All 72 National League clubs, including those in the North and South divisions, unanimously support the proposal and have requested a vote at the EFL's June AGM.
  • Proponents argue the change would create parity with other divisions, enhance financial stability, and support the goals of the upcoming Independent Football Regulator.
  • The EFL has expressed willingness to consider the proposal but insists any changes must be part of broader financial reforms involving the Premier League and the regulator.
  • Supporters point to success stories like Wrexham and Luton Town as evidence of the transformative potential of increased promotion opportunities.
