The English Premier League released a statement regarding the court ruling on the Super League
The English Premier League has issued an official statement regarding the European Court's ruling on the unlawful ban of the European Super League.
In their statement, the Premier League emphasized their non-support of the Super League and their rejection of tournaments with a similar concept.
"The ruling does not endorse the so-called "European Super League" and the Premier League continues to reject any such concept. Supporters are of vital importance to the game and they have time and again made clear their opposition to a "breakaway" competition that severs the link between domestic and European football.
The Premier League reiterates its commitment to the clear principles of open competition that underpin the success of domestic and international club competitions. Football thrives on the competitiveness created by promotion and relegation, the annual merit-based qualification from domestic leagues and cups to international club competitions and the longstanding rivalries and rituals that come with weekends being reserved for domestic football.
The Premier League will continue to engage in an open and constructive dialogue, with all relevant football stakeholders, on how best to protect and enhance the complementary balance of domestic and international club football." - official statement said.
Previously, several clubs and leagues released statements indicating their refusal to join the Super League. Among them was a representative from the Premier League, Manchester United.
