Joana Laporta, president of Barcelona, assured this on Thursday after taking note of the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) which considers the veto as ‘illegal’. UEFA and FIFA to Host the European Super League “Opens a historic opportunity” to transform European football and “improve and solve” some of its current problems.
“We see this as another historic opportunity to try to solve some of the serious issues that threaten the future viability of the vast majority of clubs today. In this sense, FC Barcelona will try to promote innovative formulas to improve the current European competitions,” he guaranteed Lapora in the international speech.
Judgments that come after hearing that same Thursday The Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) I was thinking about the fact that the legal veto had been issued by UEFA and FIFA to organize the European Super League of a group teams, including Real Madrid and FC Barcelonaao conclude that the standards applied by these two international associations are not subject to criteria guaranteeing their compliance. Transparency, proportionality and objectivity.
“In order to engage in the constructive debate we need to improve and reform the current structures of European football, the legal question of whether or not the current UEFA monopoly is compatible with European law had to be clarified.
“Today, this decision of the European Court of Justice is of great importance for the future of our sport and He agrees with us when he states that there is a monopoly situation in the current “status quo” of European football, which is incompatible with the principles of European law,” said Laporta. .
Regarding the Superliga project, he argued that it would be an “open and fully meritocratic” format.
It would make football more sustainable for the clubs themselves, it would support modest football much more, it would make it more attractive and even more accessible to fans all over the world. This proposal aims to improve European football as a whole, in both men’s and women’s football.
However, he clarified that FC Barcelona does not want to compete with LaLiga, but wants to create “synergies” with all interested parties, including UEFA and FIFA.
Barsa’s position on the issue of a new format for the European Super League should not be against the Spanish LaLiga or the domestic leagues. On the contrary: with better European competition and more resources for clubs, national leagues will be more balanced and competitive. We want to establish an open and constructive dialogue with the aim of creating positive synergies between all involved.
Laporta argued that because of “history and historical weight” in the context of European football, Barcelona should also have a say in the present and future of European football because of “responsibility”.
To protect the interests of our members, we believe that we must ensure the current and future sustainability of the company. We believe that the time has come when clubs, and even more so those who belong to their members, as is the case with FC Barcelona, will have more control over their destiny, more control over their future, more control about their future, more control over his destiny and his own sustainability.
The club commented in a “Satisfaction” statement on the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) supporting the Superliga project. As one of the driving forces behind the Super League, Barcelona believes it is the expression that “opens the way for new competition” in football at the “highest level” in Europe, demonstrating “against monopoly in the world of football”.
As Laporta explained, the Blaugrana club would like to propose a dialogue on what the European competition model of the future should look like. The club, already celebrated in the past as a “pioneer” in the world of sports for its multi-sport vocation, guarantees that the “sustainability” of European football in the medium term requires the creation of a concept such as that promoted by A22 for the Superliga .
“A competitive model that provides solutions to the schedule overload and excessive matches of national teams, this is an advancement in the regulation of financial fair play between competing teams and that puts local and international football players and fans at the center of the show. A model that respects the implementation and sustainability of national competitions and what you must have in the “The meritocracy of results is the main driver of the game,” the Blaugrana unit recalled.
In the year in which the club celebrates 125 years of history, Barsa would like to continue contributing its experience and sports knowledge. Propose solutions to the current problems this highly competitive sport has.
For this reason, the club supports the Superliga proposal promoted by A22 and encourages the opening of a constructive debate between all national and foreign football organizations, now confirmed by today’s ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Everything presupposes a complete reading of the sentence.
