To put it in simple words, UEFA and FIFA are ruled that they abused power when they used it to cancel the creation of the Super League. As a result, the European Court of Justice have ruled that the world’s top football bodies acted against competition law when they blocked the formation of the European Super League in 2021.

The official ruling said:

“The FIFA and UEFA rules on prior approval of interclub football competitions, such as the Super League, are contrary to EU law. They are contrary to competition law and the freedom to provide services. “

“The FIFA and UEFA rules making any new interclub football project subject to their prior approval, such as the Super League, and prohibiting clubs and players from playing in those competitions, are unlawful. There is no framework for the FIFA and UEFA rules ensuring they are transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate.

“Similarly, the rules giving FIFA and UEFA exclusive control over the commercial exploitation of the rights related to those competitions are such as to restrict competition, given their importance for the media, consumers and television viewers in the European Union.”

Super League – Reactions from CEO of the new league and UEFA president

Bernd Reichart’s reaction as CEO of A22

A22, a sports development company formed to help create the Super League, claimed that football’s governing bodies held a monopoly that breached EU Competition Law.

“We have won the right to compete. The UEFA monopoly is over. Football is free,” A22 CEO Bernd Reichart said. “Clubs are now free from the threat of sanction and free to determine their own futures.”

UEFA president Ceferin: “I’ve seen the press leads of English supporters calling it like… The Zombie League”.

“It’s close to Christmas, they saw a box under the tree and started to celebrate, but then when they opened the box they realised there was not much inside”.
