The Super League wins another battle

Justice once again turns its back on UEFA. The body chaired by Ceferin requested that the company A22 Sports Management, the germ of the Super League and which obtained the necessary funds, not be present in the lawsuit of the twelve founding clubs against UEFA so that it could not take action against such teams. I mean, now UEFA cannot take action against the twelve founding teams or against the society that acts as an advisor to the Super League.

The magistrate of the Commercial Court No. 17 of Madrid has confirmed in its entirety the order of June 4, 2021, in which the appearance of the company A22 Sports Management S.L. was agreed in the procedure popularly known as Superliga. Something that UEFA has tried to avoid with an appeal that has been dismissed. The court, based on article 13 of the Civil Procedure Law, understands that “while a process is pending, whoever proves to have a direct and legitimate interest in the result of the lawsuit may be admitted as a plaintiff or defendant.”

In this way, A22 Sports Management remains a plaintiff against UEFA. As we said, this society was the germ of the current Super League. It was she who was in charge of the design, creation, promotion, financing and implementation of this competition made up of the twelve clubs. In addition, he acted as an advisor, and made the company 'Fabianville S.L.U.' available to these teams, which on April 15, 2021 became European Super League Company S.L. A22 was also the sole administrator of Tivalino Invest S.L. A vehicle company established to provide ESLC with the necessary financing for the launch of the Super League.

On July 1, this same court reminded UEFA that should “refrain from excluding the founding clubs of the Super League from the competitions organized by it” and pointed out that failure to do so “will lead to the imposition of fines and even the possibility of incurring a crime of disobedience to the judicial authority.”
