What is the Neo-Egoist League?
The Neo-Egoist League is a professional football league in the Blue Lock manga universe. Rather than the usual technique of teams competing for players, the league employs a system where the players are the ones who sign individual contracts with clubs. The best 300 strikers are chosen and made to compete and enhance their talents in a series of matches in order to prove their worth for which they receive rankings and contracts.
The league features a system of “contracts” that are awarded to players who excel in the matches. These contracts are aimed to provide the players with a variety of incentives, including higher salaries, bonuses, and sponsorships, and are intended to inspire players to perform at their peak.
