MADRID (Reuters) - Television broadcasters won't break their contracts with UEFA and national leagues to join the breakaway European Super League project, the head of Spanish media company Mediapro told Reuters on Monday.

Jaume Roures, whose company broadcasts matches from Spanish football's top flight La Liga and holds the TV licensing rights of the UEFA Champions League in the country, said he believed the new competition would not succeed.

The rival to UEFA's established elite Champions League competition was condemned by football authorities, politicians and fans. "They are trying to take the biggest share of the money that is on the market and share it out among 20," Roures said, referring to the Super League's goal of having a 20-team league play each season.
