FIFA and UEFA are closer to winning in the European court the dispute that opposes the two organizations to the clubs that participate in the project to create the European Super League. The opinion of the General Advocate of the European Union was released this Thursday in a statement and stipulates that, although the clubs have autonomy to create their own league, they will have to abide by the rules established by the organizations that protect international football — that is to say, he would be disabled to participate in competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA (including the Champions League).
The opinion of Athanasios Rantos represents a severe setback for the aspirations of the clubs of the European Superleague Company (ESLC), whose intention was to establish the new competition, a closed league between the big European clubs (such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or Juventus). ), and at the same time being able to remain in the current trials. UEFA legal sources, cited by El País, affirm that the decision is “a brutal blow to the promoters of the Super League, without fissures, and full support for the idea that UEFA pursues legitimate objectives.”
The final decision will now be in the hands of the group of judges of the Court of Justice of the European Union, that the same sources foresee that they will follow the guidelines of the General Advocate???????? “With the clarity with which the lawyer spoke, there may be some small differences in the sentence, but the 15 judges are expected to follow the line drawn” by Rantos.
