The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA

The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA have abused their exclusive status to prevent the creation of the European Super League ESL.

The European Court of Justice said on Monday, "We must support transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate things, but UEFA and FIFA are abusing their dominant authority. We must consider the arbitrary nature of several clubs and not restrict their freedom. Of course, this does not mean that the Super League should be approved unconditionally," officially announcing that it is illegal for UEFA and FIFA to block clubs from participating in the Super League.

The creation of the ESL was discussed in 2021. At the time, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez insisted on the creation of the ESL, which aims to bring together the best teams in Europe along with the U.S. capital to proceed with the league.

At that time, the best teams in Europe expressed their intention to participate in the unconventional argument. In the English Premier League EPL, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Manchester City and Manchester United, agreed to participate. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid played in the Spanish Primera Liga, while Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan jumped in the Italian Serie A. 스포츠토토

However, UEFA and FIFA strongly responded by saying that clubs participating in the ESL will not be allowed to participate in all competitions hosted by UEFA and FIFA in the future, and that they would penalize them by imposing fines. Eventually, the ESL was launched in vain.

In response, ESL filed a lawsuit against UEFA and FIFA, saying, "UEFA and FIFA's exclusive status violates the European Union's competition and openness laws," and the European Court of Justice ruled in favor of ESL.

UEFA said in response to the European Court of Justice's ruling, "UEFA is committed to serving the greater good of society by defending the system of European football. We will continue to build European sports models together with our respective countries' associations, leagues, clubs, fans, players, coaches, EU agencies, governments, and partners."

"We believe that European law and each country's laws will act as a protective device if the current European soccer system, based on solidarity that fans and all stakeholders live on as irreplaceable models, faces the threat of withdrawal," he said.
