European authorities have agreed with the Danish clubs and banned the promoters of the Super League project from registering that name, the Association of Danish Professional Clubs reported on Wednesday.
“The company European Super League tried to register its trademark in the European Union (EU), but it understood that it was a violation of Super Leaguethe brand jointly owned by the Danish clubs,” it said in a statement.
The decision, which can be appealed, will force the promoters of the European project to find another name for their competition.
The Danish Super League, which currently consists of twelve teams, was created in 1991 and is currently sponsored by 3F, one of the main union federations in this country.
“We are very happy because the EU registration authority has agreed with us that the trademark ‘The Super League’ will violate the amount invested by Danish clubs in the 3F Super League,” said the president of the top category of Danish football, Claus Thomsen.
Thomsen remembers the opposition of the football clubs Denmark and other countries in the hypothetical creation of a new European league.
“We understand that there should be openness and classification in international tournaments through national leagues. Football should not be a closed party for clubs that do not dare to participate in an open competition,” said he.
