Soccer FIFA, against the Super League: "Those who played it would be prohibited from participating in FIFA competitions"
Soccer is at war. Or at least its leaders. The
UEFA
today issued a strong statement by the main federations of the continent (
Spain, England and Italy
) and their leagues (
Laliga, Premier League and Serie A
) positioned against the creation of the
European Super League
and directly threatening clubs that they intend to be part of it.
Throughout this Sunday, several European media have advanced the possibility that in the coming days the creation of the Super League will be officially announced, a closed competition that would replace the current Champions League and that would have the vote in favor of the main European clubs :
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid in Spain and Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham
in England. The directors of these teams understand that a
league with the best squads in the world
would aspire to
much more juicy television contracts
than those currently signed.
Faced with this situation, the highest organization of European football has been tougher than ever and has labeled the Super League project as "cynical". "A project based on the
self-interest of some clubs
at a time when society needs more solidarity than ever." UEFA, which has ensured that it will consider taking
"judicial and sporting" measures
, has threatened clubs that try to join this competition.
"The teams will
not be able to play the other European
and local
competitions
and their players will be prohibited from participating in international tournaments with their national teams."
In short, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético
could not play in the League
and the Spanish team would have to make the calls without the players from these clubs.
As this newspaper has learned, the clubs that support the Super League plan to make a
joint statement in the next few hours.
In its document, UEFA also thanks the teams from
Germany and France
for not joining the project.
That is, and always according to UEFA,
neither Bayern nor PSG would support the creation of the Super League
.
The Premier, very hard
Before the UEFA document, the
Premier League individually published its own condemnation
of a bill that "
attacks the principles of open competition
and sporting merit, which are the principles of the pyramid of domestic and European football."
The English league, which could lose its six most important clubs in this move, says that "the concept of the Super League would
destroy the dream that any team
can rise to the top and play against the best."
Thebes: "A Powerpoint Super League"
Javier Tebas
, president of the League, has once again criticized the attempt to create the European Super League, calling the project "
a powerpoint super league
".
"At last they are going to leave the" five o'clock in the morning "bar, from the" underground ", the" gurus "of the" powerpoint "Super League,
drunk with selfishness and lack of solidarity
. We have been working for a long time at this moment and they will due answer ".
