In one of the biggest surprises, the European Court of Justice has ruled in the favor of Super League. The A22-backed league was blocked by UEFA and FIFA in 2021, with the two bodies calling the league unlawful. However, according to ECJ’s ruling, the two governing bodies went against the existing competition laws to block the league from coming to fruition. This is a big win for multiple big European clubs who were keen to be a part of the tournament.

However, despite the court’s ruling, UEFA has not budged from its views on the matter. The European soccer governing body has claimed that the ruling does not endorse or justify the Super League, and the organization will do its best to defend the sport from any threats.

What does the European Court of Justice’s ruling mean for top clubs?

Barcelona and Real Madrid have to be on cloud nine following ECJ’s ruling. The two Spanish clubs are staunch supporters of the Super League and have been keen to start the league. Following the court’s decision, both clubs could gain $1 billion financial boost if the league comes to fruition.

While the news will surely be welcomed by the upper echelon of the Premier League, at the moment it carries no weight. According to reports, the Premier League sides might still be out of participating in the tournament with the UK government looking to regulate clubs under their new Football Governance Bill.

Premier League Clubs Banned From Joining European Super League Via New Football Governance Bill: Reports

While clubs are rejoicing following the court’s decision, soccer governing bodies might not be as grateful. UEFA, in their media release, has stated that they welcome the ruling but do not entertain the prospect of the Super League.

UEFA issues their statement on ECJ’s ruling

The European soccer governing body minutes after the court’s ruling issued an official statement on its website firming its stance on the Super League. The organization will also hold a press conference later this evening to discuss the court’s verdict.
