The European Court of Justice's ruling against UEFA and FIFA that the two organizations used illegal tactics in trying to block the creation of the Super League "doesn't change anything," said FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
"With all due respect to the Court of Justice of the European Union, today's decision, changes absolutely nothing." From a historical point of view, we organize the best tournaments and championships in the world and this will be the case in the future," he wrote on the Instagram social network.
Earlier in the day, the A22 Sports Management company published their plans for the Super League, with the format of the tournament featuring 64 teams divided into three divisions. Participation will be on a sporting basis, with clubs continuing to be in their domestic leagues. There will be promotion and relegation, and the broadcast of the competition will be on a specially created streaming platform - Unify, and will be free.
Infantino's colleague at the head of UEFA, Alexander Ceferin, commented sarcastically on the news of the decision of the European Union in Brussels. "We're not going to try to stop them. They can create whatever they want. I hope they start their fantastic tournament as soon as possible...with two clubs," said the Slovenian, referring to Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona, who continue to be behind the Super League project. /BGNES
