UEFA and the major European leagues, the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, have strongly condemned plans to create a European Super League and have stated that they will exclude from their respective leagues clubs that join the new format of the Champions League.

“If this happens, we want to reiterate that we – UEFA, FA, RFEF, FIGC, Premier League, Laliga and Serie A, but also FIFA and all member countries, remain united in our efforts to stop this cynical project. “which is based on the self-interests of some clubs at a time when society needs to show more solidarity than ever before.”

“We will evaluate all the measures available to us, at club, judicial and sporting level, to prevent such an event. Football is based on open competition and sports merit: it can not be otherwise.”

“As FIFA and the six federations have said, the clubs in question will be banned from playing in any other local, European or world competition, while their players will be banned from playing for their national teams,” he said. announced UEFA, Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.
