The English Premier League has issued an official statement disapproving of the Super League following the court rulings that were observed today. The European Court of Justice said neither UEFA nor FIFA can impose a ban on the Super League.
The Premier League statement:
“Today’s ruling does not endorse the Super League — and the Premier League continues to REJECT any such concept”.
“Supporters are of vital importance to the game, and they have time and again made clear their opposition to a “breakaway” competition that severs the link between domestic and European football”.
“The Premier League reiterates its commitment to the clear principles of open competition that underpin the success of domestic and international club competitions”.
“Football thrives on the competitiveness created by promotion and relegation, the annual merit-based qualification from domestic leagues and cups to international club competitions, and the longstanding rivalries and rituals that come with weekends being reserved for domestic football”.
Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, and others have shown support for the Super League. Conversely, Manchester United, Atlético Madrid, Bayern, PSG, and multiple La Liga clubs including Sevilla, Valencia, and Villarreal have released an official statement asserting they are against the proposed tournament.
