BRUSELAS, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has considered this Thursday illegal the veto of UEFA and FIFA to the organization of the Super League by a group of teams, including Real Madrid and FC Barcelona , concluding that the rules applied by these two international associations are not subject to any criteria that guarantee their transparency, proportionality and objectivity.
The European High Court, thus responding to a preliminary ruling referred by the Commercial Court number 17 of Madrid, also warns that FIFA and UEFA are “abusing their dominant position” with their exclusive control over the commercial exploitation of the rights derived from the competitions they organize.
The Court of Justice does not resolve the national dispute, and it is the national court that must resolve the dispute in accordance with the decision of the Court of Justice.
