"This changes nothing." Infantino responded to the court's decision on the Super League
FIFA President Gianni Infantino responded to the European Union's Supreme Court ruling on the unlawful prohibition of the Super League.
On December 21st, the European Union's Supreme Court decreed that FIFA and UEFA had acted unlawfully in blocking the European Super League.
"With the greatest respect for the European Court of Justice, today’s judgement does not change anything, really. Historically, we have been organising the best competitions in the world and this will also be the case in the future.
We will continue to deliver the world’s most spectacular, competitive and meaningful tournaments and use our revenues to develop football in every corner of the globe through solidarity programmes that ensure the less privileged benefit from those top competitions. FIFA will continue to do so, as always, in close cooperation with our Member Associations, with the Confederations and with all the stakeholders of football for the exclusive benefit of our game - globally. All together!" told Infantino.
Following the court's decision, the European Super League project seems to have gained a second lease on life. However, top clubs and leagues have voiced their opposition to the establishment of the tournament.
Previously, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin shared his opinion on the Super League situation.
