Figc says no to European Super League: “We defend the well-being of Italian football”
The new project that aims to bring the European Super League to football is encountering resistance not only from UEFA and FIFA, but also from major football associations, with the Italian stressing that he will defend the well-being of his league.
The announcement of the decision of the European Court of Justice on the possibility of third parties to create their own football competitions without the consent of FIFA and UEFA caused euphoria among Real and Barcelona, who envisage the creation of the European Super League, but also a large and solid front against she.
So far, too many European teams have spoken out against joining the ESL for the Italian Football Association to shout a clear “no” on Wednesday afternoon (December 21st).
“Following the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the so-called Super League, the Italian Football Federation, which fully recognizes itself in the highest bodies of UEFA and FIFA, reiterates its firm belief in the protection of national championships, the defense of the broader and more general Principle of sporting value and respect for international calendars.
For these reasons, the FIGC, in accordance with national laws and international regulations, is convinced that the Super League is not a project compatible with these conditions and will always act in the interests of the general interests of Italian football in all areas.” she says in a statement.
