A general attorney of the European Union ruled this Thursday that the FIFA and UEFA no.or they abused their dominant position in European football competitions by blocking the creation of an alternative tournament, the threat of sanctions, the super leaguewhich to this day still supports Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus of Turin.
“The FIFA and UEFA rules making any new competition subject to prior authorization are compatible with Union competition law,” the European Court of Justice said in a statement.
The lawyer explained that the Super League can create a football competition “outside the UEFA and FIFA ecosystem, it cannot, in addition to creating that competition, continue to participate in football competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA without the consent of these federations,” the statement said.
The opinion of the attorney general assigned to this case, Athanasios Rantos, it is not binding, but the Court of Justice of the European Union estimates that its judges follow the line of previous opinions in about 80% of cases
