The start of the 2021 Super League plans, which declared war on the Champions League and UEFA, was a fiasco. Wrong tactics. Individual mistakes. In football terms: 0:3 after five minutes. A match without a chance – unless the referee changes the rules…
Which the European Court of Justice did in December 2023 when it supported the project. The ECJ ruled that the major football associations FIFA and UEFA may not make other competitions dependent on their approval and may not ban clubs and players from participating in these competitions. The rules giving FIFA and UEFA exclusive control over the commercial operation of the competitions would also restrict competition in the EU, the ruling said.
“The UEFA monopoly is over,” cheered the former CEO of RTL Mediengruppe Deutschland, Bernd Reichart, who represents the project. And despite the stress of appointments, he took more than half an hour to explain the next steps to the “Krone”.
