- Clubs’ court action challenging structure of game continues
- Uefa sends warning note to all of Europe’s national FAs
The European Super League still represents “an ongoing existential threat to the foundations and future of European football”, Uefa has warned, as an aggressive court action originally brought by all 12 breakaway clubs continues to challenge its structure.
Although nine of the original 12 clubs, including the six from the Premier League, rapidly stated they had withdrawn from the project after the vilification that met its launch on 18 April, they are all still members of the Super League company that is maintaining the legal challenge. The action in a Madrid court was taken against Uefa by the 12 clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, on the day they announced their widely derided plan for a breakaway competition with themselves as permanent members, after months of secret discussions and planning.
