The English Premier League This Thursday he showed his rejection of the European Super League, a ‘dissident’ competition that breaks ‘the link between national and European football’, according to LaLiga in Spain and that the rest of the main European competitions, the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, to “protect and improve the balance” of the ecosystem.
“Noting the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the “Superliga case”, the Prime Minister continues to reject any such concept and condemns the proposal,” the league announced in a statement.
The premiere, in which an “important” ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) will be examined “in detail”. UEFA and FIFA’s veto over the organization of the Super League is illegal, claiming that the decision does not “approve” such a competition.
“Fans are crucial to football and have repeatedly made it clear that they are important. Opposition to a dissident league that breaks the link between domestic and European football,” said the statement reaffirming their “commitment to cleanliness.” Principles of open competition that determine the success of national and international club competitions.”
For the English league, ‘football feeds on the competitiveness that comes from promotion and relegation, the annual classification based on performance’ and on ‘historical and ritual rivalry’ between teams in national competitions.
“Since 2021, the Prime Minister, along with other football associations, has also strengthened its rules and governance in this area. The Prime Minister will continue to have an open and constructive dialogue with all relevant football players on the best way to do this: “Protect and enhance the complementary balance between domestic and international club football,” the statement concludes.
A vision it shares with the British government, which has already communicated to local fans “when several clubs attempted to participate in the dissident competition in 2021”. “We stand by the decision and in 2024 we will introduce legislation for a regulator to prevent similar attempts.” He continued with Lucy Frazer, the British Secretary of State for Culture and Sport.
Meanwhile, The League made it clear that Thursday’s ruling does not “support” the creation of this new league nor does it “comment on this specific project.” In turn, the president, Javier Tebas, explained that he would like to see “much clearer statements” from the Spanish government about a Super League and a format that would be “economically unsustainable” if it offered its games for free with the request not to do that. to “deceive people”.
The decision of the Court of Justice does not support the European Super League.

“We care deeply about the principles of sports performance. This should regulate the organization of our sport with regard to qualification for European competitions and, more generally, the principles of promotion and relegation,” he explained.
And Labrune E concluded: “If football is the most important sport in the world today, it is precisely because he knew how to do it.” Basic principles for simple, clear and transparent competitions.” “Nothing can contradict this elusive principle of giving everyone the right to ‘dream’ and reach the top of the sporting pyramid,” he concluded.
Then again, this is a series. The Italians wanted to demonstrate the strength of their championship and their teams “address the scope and legal implications of the decision published today by the Court of Justice of the European Union”. In addition to the Bundesliga, a new scenario is recognized in which “UEFA and FIFA are obliged to revise the criteria they have already developed” regarding new competitions.
However, the German league emphasizes that the Court of Justice’s decision “does not mean that a competition such as the Superliga must necessarily be approved.” “The legality of the Super League is another matter.” “The DFL expressly supports the European sports model and rejects competitions that are not organized by associations and leagues.” he adds, along with some statements from Marc Lenz, general manager of the DFL.
