THE SUPER LEAGUE HAD ITS DAY IN COURT AND WON. WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO SOME FANS AND CLUBS OBJECT?

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that soccer's governing bodies UEFA and FIFA acted contrary to EU competition law by blocking plans for a breakaway Super League. Emboldened by that ruling, organizers quickly revealed plans for the new competition designed to change the face of European soccer. That news was celebrated by Real Madrid, which along with Barcelona, has been leading the fight to get the new competition off the ground.

“Today a Europe of freedoms has triumphed, and also football and its fans have triumphed,” Madrid president Florentino Pérez said. “We are facing a great opportunity to improve European club football.”

A previous attempt to launch a Super League in 2021 collapsed when clubs backed out in the face of angry fan protests. And despite the latest ruling, it is unclear if the competition has wide backing or if clubs would be willing to join and risk alienating supporters and challenging UEFA.
