Hard message from the European Parliament to the Super League

The Plenary of the European Parliament approves the report on sport policy in the European Union. Document that contains a harsh message against the philosophy with which the Super League was created and that point to threatening the ecosystem and stability of the sport.

The Polish MEP and vice president of the sports group, Tomasz Frankowski, was in charge of detailing the main lines of the report in the plenary session of the European Parliament. Whose objective is to evaluate and expose the possible ways of action of the European Union in its sports policy. This dossier specifies that Europe will try to promote a series of principles that would clash with the philosophy of the Super League., whose first staging was of a closed competition and outside of UEFA. Thus says point 13 of the report voted in Parliament: “A European model of sport is advocated that recognizes the need for a solid commitment to the integration of the principles of solidarity, sustainability, inclusion, open competition, sporting merit and equity, and in consequence, strongly opposes splinter competitions that undermine these principles and jeopardize the stability of the overall sporting ecosystem; stresses that all sports stakeholders and national authorities should promote these principles. “

In the exposition of the reasons for this report, a direct mention was made of the Super League and label as a threat to the European model that is wanted from the European Union: “In the last decade no substantial progress has been made in the formulation of a model In particular, the debate has been hampered by semantic considerations regarding its naming, rather than focusing on the gist of the model’s relevant features, what they mean, and how best to promote them. While this confusion and inaction persist, forces that threaten the European dimension of sport and seek to undermine its characteristics take advantage of the situation. The European Super League was a clear example of this type of action, which for the moment, and fortunately, has failed due to the strong European opposition to its realization.“And he adds:” In addition, all institutions and stakeholders must be ready to recognize and protect what makes European sport so entertaining, popular and successful, while maintaining its social functions. These characteristics include sporting merit, open competition, competitive balance, and solidarity.“.

In addition to Tomasz Frankowski, Commissioner Margaritis Schinas and other MEPs also participated in the debate on European Union sport policy, showing their opposition to the Super League model, calling on European institutions and national governments to unite against of this type of projects. Frankowski also wanted to emphasize other debates in football in recent years: the excess number of games that exists on the calendar and the negative consequences it has on the health of the players. Reviewing that international tournaments must respect national competitions when setting a schedule saturated with commitments.
