The EU’s general advocate believes that UEFA and FIFA can veto the participants in the Super League
‘Palo’ very difficult for the Super League. In recent hours, the EU Advocate General has published his opinion on the tricky Super League case. The advice is not binding, but states that it is the Super League is free to create its own leagueyou cannot continue in those of FIFA and UEFA without prior approval.
European law speaks out and Florentino Pérez’s Super League is mortally wounded
This was determined by the lawyer of the European Union on Thursday FIFA and UEFA have not abused their dominant position in European football competitions by blocking the creation of an alternative tournament with threats of sanctions, the Super League, which to this day is supported by three clubs: Real Madrid CF, FC Barcelona and Juventus de Turin. The three clubs are clearly at a disadvantage after this position, after the position of the EU lawyer, who is clearly on the side of UEFA and FIFA.
A non-binding opinion, but one that does not bode well for the Super League
The EU lawyer states that “although the European Super League Company is free to create its own league of independent football outside the UEFA and FIFA ecosystem, not, in addition to creating that league, continue to participate in football competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA without the prior consent of those associationsIn short, a huge delay for Super League promoter Florentino Pérez, who is currently mortally wounded.
Please note that the opinion of the EU lawyer is not binding, but usually coincides with the final position ofthe Court of Justice of the European Union. In fact, the opinion usually coincides with that of the judges in about 80% of cases.
UEFA, satisfied with the unequivocal opinion
As soon as the non-binding opinion of the European Union lawyer was known, UEFA published a tweet to express its satisfaction with the magistrate’s position. Says it like this: “UEFA warmly welcomes today’s unequivocal ruling recommending a CJEU ruling in support of our core mission to govern European football, protect the pyramid and develop the game across Europe.”
conclusion: in other words, it means that, for the lawyer of the EU, UEFA and FIFA do not have a monopoly, so that the Super League can create its own competition, but if he does, he must have permission from FIFA and UEFA to continue competing in his own competitions. A tournament waterline hack promoted by Florentino Pérez and seconded by Joan Laporta.
