Montreux (dpa) - DFB President Fritz Keller has spoken out in favor of excluding the Super League clubs from previous competitions.
«Football is open and there for everyone.
A closed Super League, on the other hand, is only for the super-rich and super-reckless, "said the 64-year-old, according to the German Football Association.
“The selfish behavior of these twelve clubs has nothing to do with the game we fell in love with as children.
The clubs and their youth teams should be excluded from all competitions until they think again of their many supporters, who have made them into the biggest clubs in the world - and not just of their wallets. "
Twelve top European clubs, including Liverpool FC, Real Madrid and Juventus Turin, announced the establishment of a billion-dollar Super League on Monday night.
This would be in direct competition with the Champions League of the European Football Union.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin announced on Monday that he wanted to exclude the clubs and their players from all competitions run by UEFA and the world association FIFA.
It was initially unclear whether this is legally possible.
