English football has a problem with the Super League. The football reform in England which will come into effect in 2024 and has the support of the British Government has collided with the creation of a competition of this style. In fact, it is prohibited, along with the distribution of licenses to clubs that could lead to expulsion from the Premier League if they join the Super League or any competition outside UEFA or FIFA.
This reform has been progressing since 2021, when twelve European clubs, including six English -Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United- proclaimed themselves the founders of the European Super League, promising more attractive matches and more economic support.
After the rejection of Premier League fans, including protest inside and outside the camps, the six The clubs distanced themselves from the project, at least publicly, and reform of English football began with the British Government.
The reform includes the creation of an independent regulator to mediate disputes, improve the test for owners and proprietors to prevent economic problems in clubs, as well as the entry of state clubs, increase fan representation and decision-making power, and improve the distribution of money in the English football pyramid.
That independent regulator will also have the power to ban clubs from participating in competitions not recognized by the Premier League.
At first, the competition itself distanced itself from this reform and viewed it negatively due to the interference of external agents who believed it could damage the league’s brand and long-term profits. With a recently signed contract of more than six million pounds for four years of domestic television rights and another to be announced for international rights, the Premier wants to maintain its hegemony as the best league in the world and are equally concerned about the provision of six clubs joining the Super League as if it included an external regulator.
He Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) FIFA and UEFA considered on Thursday that the pre-authorization rules of club football competitions, such as the Super League, violate Union Law. The EU’s highest administrative body has ruled that UEFA and FIFA abused their “dominant position” in their action against the creation of the controversial soccer Super League.
