Court Rules UEFA and FIFA Breached EU Law in Super League Case
TL;DR Summary
The European Court of Justice has ruled that UEFA and FIFA violated EU law by preventing the formation of a Super League, but the court did not explicitly approve the league. The ruling comes after sports development company A22 announced plans for a new competition that could rival UEFA's Champions League. While some clubs welcomed the ruling, major leagues and clubs expressed support for the existing structure. The court's decision stated that FIFA and UEFA abused their dominant position by forbidding clubs from joining the Super League, but it did not specifically address the approval of the project.
