World soccer's governing body FIFA expressed its"disapproval to a 'closed European breakaway league' outside of the international football structures".
European Super League announcement confirms Florentino Perez as chairman, with Joel Glazer & Andrea Agnelli as vice-chairs. What fresh hell is thisUEFA issued a strong statement jointly with English, Spanish and Italian leagues and football federations, saying they were ready to use"all measures" to confront any breakaway and saying any participating clubs would be banned from domestic leagues, such as the Premier League.
The moves were condemned by football authorities across Europe and former players such as Manchester United's ex-captain Gary Neville who called it"an absolute disgrace" and said the club owners were motivated by"pure greed". "The president of the republic welcomes the position of French clubs to refuse to participate to a European football Super League project that threatens the principle of solidarity and sporting merit," the French presidency said in a statement sent to Reuters.
There have been reports of a breakaway for a number of years and they returned in January with several media reported a document had been produced outlining the plans. UEFA has proposed major changes to its Champions League which had received support from many clubs and organisation.
