The CJEU will not process the 'Super League case' urgently after denying the request of the Madrid court

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has rejected this Thursday the request of the commercial court number 17 of Madrid to urgently process the 'Super League case', by means of a letter issued by the highest court of the EU.

A Madrid court had asked the CJEU to consider whether UEFA had violated European Union (EU) competition law by “blocking” the main European football clubs the possibility of creating a Super League outside of the continental competitions organized by UEFA.

According to the aforementioned letter from the ECJ, dated July 8, the letter informs the Super League and UEFA that has rejected the procedure initiated by the Madrid court to expedite its resolution, explain sources from the European body.

In this sense, the procedural decision leaves Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus -the only three clubs that remain committed to the new project- with no hope of getting a quick sentence on his ability to found a new competition outside of UEFA.

The complaint claims that UEFA and FIFA they have a “monopoly on the organization and authorization of international competitions” and according to the ECJ letter, the deadline for interested parties to submit observations on the complaint has been set at October 18.
