The State Bar advises against the Super League before the EU

The State Advocacy sent this Tuesday to the Court of Justice of the European Unionat their legal criteria of opposition to the Super League in the terms initially raised, as advanced by Cope and this newspaper was able to confirm in sources from the Higher Sports Council.

In this way, the Spanish Government makes its position official in legal terms, aligning with UEFA and LaLiga. Show your opposition to the project led by Florentino Pérez and in which, in addition to Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus still follow. “We believe that, through dialogue, the improvement of competitions is possible, but always within the structures that already exist,” said the same sources consulted by As. Refusing to create such a competition outside of UEFA and that does not respect sporting merit (15 teams would be fixed and only five would qualify for the previous season’s performance.)

The Government already expressed its reservations about the project in April, considering that it was “conceived and proposed without counting on the representative organizations of this sport., both nationally and internationally ”. The Minister of Culture at that time, José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, then met with representatives of UEFA, the Federation, the League and the clubs involved to invite the parties to resume the dialogue.

From LaLiga show satisfaction for a move that they consider logical, since the rest of the governments with leagues involved in the Super League had demonstrated previously against this competition. Tebas has appeared at the trial, demonstrating that LaLiga is an interested party.

The Court of Justice of the European Union is the next one that must move tab and rule if UEFA and FIFA are a monopoly. A prejudicial matter that was transferred from the Commercial Court No. 17 of Madrid, which handles the Superliga Case and has forced Ceferín, president of UEFA, to withdraw all sanctions against the twelve founding clubs (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atlético, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Juventus, Inter and Milan).
