UEFA Welcomes Lifting of Measures Preventing Super League Punishments

News 18  

UEFA have welcomed the decision made by a Spanish judge to lift measures preventing them and world football governing body FIFA from punishing clubs involved in the European Super League project. Judge Sofia Gil, head of the commercial court in Madrid in charge of the European Super League case, has upheld UEFA’s appeal against the precautionary measures that were issued a year ago. But a ruling in April last year had said FIFA and UEFA must “refrain from taking any measures or action, or from issuing any statement, which prevents or hinders, directly or indirectly, the preparation of the European Super League”. The European Super League was launched by Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham, as well as Barca, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
