There are many football and financial analyzes and theories that dealt with support or rejection of the idea of establishing the European Super League, but is there a legal way to stop this competition, which was described as "separatist", and as a "death certificate for football."
Twelve clubs from England (Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal), Italy (Juventus, Milan, Inter Milan) and Spain (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) have announced plans to launch the European Super League, with the participation of 20 A team, with 15 of these teams being permanent parties to the tournament.
British legal expert Mark Orth has warned that if UEFA decides to sue the clubs of this league to prevent competition from moving forward, this move may be doomed to failure.
UEFA has threatened to ban the Premier League clubs from European competitions, and the players of those clubs will also not be able to participate in international competitions organized by UEFA, such as the European Nations Championship, while FIFA said the same thing regarding World Cup.
"In my opinion, the Super League teams have a strong case," Orth told the Daily Mail.
"The courtroom is the right way to adjudicate these matters. They have a good chance of winning. There are good prospects for starting the Super League and the clubs participating in it," he added.
"If the monopolist is allowed to prohibit competition, you don't need competition law at all. If it allows, it affects the fundamentals of competition law. There should be an opportunity to open up the market (sport)," he added.
And he continued, "What if Amazon told merchants: If you offer your goods on any other platform over the Internet, you are excluded from our platform. In other words, the exclusive offer of goods only on Amazon."
Orth also referred to a case related to the International Skating Union, which tried to prevent skiers from participating in new events, as the European Commission and the General Court in Luxembourg, the second highest court in Europe, ruled against it.
