UEFA has responded to a judicial threat from Spain and will not pursue the proceedings against the three breakaway Super League clubs Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin.

That was confirmed by UEFA on Tuesday.

The European association will also not demand any fines from the other nine Super League teams.

After a closer examination, it was concluded that the continuation of a legal dispute was not in their own interest and that of the member associations, according to a UEFA statement.

The UEFA Appeals Chamber had therefore decided that the proceedings would not be pursued further.

In the room there was a Champions League exclusion of the three top clubs.

UEFA: Stop the Super League

Nevertheless, the clear stance against the establishment of a super league and the disapproval of the behavior of the clubs involved remains.

They will continue to do whatever is necessary to stop the Super League and any form of breakaway league.

They also reserve the right to take new legal steps in the event of a possible resumption of any spin-off plans.

UEFA said that they always acted in accordance with their statutes and regulations, but also with EU law, the European Convention on Human Rights and Swiss law.

The association is confident that fans across Europe who have resisted the Superliga plans will not see the decision as a victory for the spin-off plans, it said.

The Spanish judge Manuel Ruiz de Lara had given UEFA an ultimatum the previous week to withdraw the sanctions threats against the founding members of the controversial Superliga.

Otherwise, UEFA boss Aleksander Ceferin could face charges for failure to comply with a judicial ruling.

Twelve European top teams, including initially six English Premier League clubs, shocked European football in April with the publication of their Super League plans.

The super league would have entered into direct competition with the UEFA Champions League, which sharply criticized these plans as well as several national leagues and associations.

Fans demonstrated against the plans.

German clubs were not among the founders of the Super League.

Since the rapid withdrawal of the English clubs, the super league has been off the table for the time being.

Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin are sticking to their plans.

For this reason, UEFA initially threatened them with sanctions.
