UEFA officially condemns new European Super League plans
Although nine of the 12 clubs behind the Super League plan withdrew as soon as the backlash arouse, there have been rumors about plans for a revival of the Super League.
It was revealed last month that media executive, Bernd Reichart was heading up plans for a revival of the
Super League. However, UEFA reaffirms its opposition to the plans in a
statement releasedon Tuesday.
“UEFA accommodated a meeting request from A22 Sports, a private commercial venture, today in Nyon by offering them a chance to address all the genuine representative authorities of European football,"
a UEFA statement began
.
"Top management of UEFA, led by president Aleksander Ceferin, and high representatives from the national leagues, clubs, players and fans, stressed together that the opposition to the self-proclaimed Super League [ESL] remains overwhelming today as it has been since April 2021.
"In line with the unity of European football, UEFA and the participating football stakeholders once again unanimously rejected the rationale underpinning projects such as ESL during today's discussion.
"The participants took note, with surprise, the claims of A22 Sports' CEO that this company is not representing any clubs in any capacity, including the three clubs who continue to openly support the project.
"UEFA and football stakeholders remain committed to the foundations of European football, which are based on openness, solidarity and meritocracy and serve broader objectives of sporting principles and societal interest, rather than on privilege and self-entitlement.
"European football will continue to stand together firmly for the positive future development of the game and society."
