FIFA, UEFA ‘Abused Dominant Position’ On Super League, Spain Court Rules

Real Madrid and Barcelona are strong supporters of the project that most of Europe's other big clubs have abandoned.

Twelve of Europe’s most powerful clubs announced the launch of a breakaway European Super League on April 19, 2021 in a potentially seismic shift in the way football is run, but faced accusations of greed and cynicism.

The case was brought before the Madrid Commercial Court by A22 Sports Management, the promoters of the three-tier, 80-club project. “It is not possible to impose a prohibition or restriction as a matter of principle, in other words to prohibit any other project in the future,” explained judge Sofia Gil Garcia in her ruling on Monday, seen by AFP.“To admit the contrary would be tantamount to accepting a kind of ban … on any football competition project” that competes with the current Champions League, continued the judge.

Proposed in 2021 by twelve elite European clubs, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, the first draft of the Super League project quickly collapsed, mainly due to fierce opposition from English clubs’ fans and threats from UEFA and FIFA.
