Spanish Court Rules FIFA, UEFA Abused Position, Orders Halt to Super League Opposition

May 27, 2024, 05:00 PM

A Spanish court has ruled that FIFA and UEFA abused their dominant position by opposing the formation of the European Super League. The court has ordered both organizations to halt their opposition to the Super League, stating that challenger leagues and competitions do not require FIFA or UEFA authorization to stage events. This decision comes before the ECJ ruling and is based on old statutes and authorizations rules, which now need testing in practice. This ruling could potentially give European clubs more power to influence UEFA and FIFA competitions in the future.
