The exercise was caught 48 hours from the club, fans, organizations, organizations and politicians, and the presentation was not received, and football did not accept the notification. Liverpool and the French sports group Supremo John V. Henry made a rare appearance on camera to apologize for causing chaos in the club.
Nine of the 12 clubs moved to ESL, but Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus stuck with the idea until earlier this year, filing a lawsuit to circumvent the process. The two Spanish giants remain committed to this idea. The issue was taken up in the European courts, where A22 supported the ESL idea, arguing that it was illegal for UEFA and FIFA to threaten clubs and players with sanctions if they tried to organize another competition. Last December, ahead of the final decision on Thursday morning (December 21), Supreme Court Chief Athanasios Rantos expressed his position. The non-binding opinion of the advocate general indicates that UEFA and FIFA should have the power to block the creation of new competitions, such as the defunct ESL, and to fine parties involved in escape schemes.
However, this view has not been confirmed by recent court rulings that found UEFA and FIFA to have acted illegally. This decision marks a victory for A22 and we hope to see the start of ESL competition in the future. This is binding and cannot be challenged. ESL said in a statement about the decision: “FIFA and UEFA’s pre-approval rules for club football competitions such as the Super League are in breach of EU law.” “They are against the competition law and the freedom to provide services.”
FIFA and UEFA rules to pre-approve new inter-club football projects such as the Super League and ban clubs and players from participating in such competitions are illegal. There is no basis for ensuring that FIFA and UEFA regulations are transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate. Similarly, the rules giving FIFA and UEFA exclusive control over the commercial exploitation of the rights to these competitions are anti-competitive, given their importance to media, consumers and television audiences in the European Union. “This does not mean that competitions such as the Super League Project must be approved.
Courts questioned on FIFA and UEFA rules generally do not rule on specific projects in their decisions.The decision is likely to have implications for the future of European football, but Premier League clubs are unlikely to change their minds, especially with the advent of an independent regulator and clubs such as Liverpool reviewing their club constitutions. It changed. Requires the Association to obtain approval for such matters from a designated sponsor committee.
Premier League media relations have practically become a super league compared to the European leagues.”We have earned the right to compete,” A22 CEO Bernd Reichardt said on social media. The UEF monopoly is over. Football is free. “Now the club is free from the threat of sanctions and can decide its own future.”While this decision won’t have a direct impact on the European game, it will pave the way for some.
Prospects for a future return of the European Super League (ESL) have increased after the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that UEFA and FIFA breached EU and competition law by banning the ESL from 2021. In April 2021, 12 clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, AC Milan, Internazionale, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, attempted to launch a separate ESL league. In addition to the national and international competitions in which I have been participating for a long time.
