"The Super League project has finally died out after Uefa announced it had reached an agreement of principles for the wellbeing of European club football with Real Madrid and the European Football Clubs group. In a surprise statement released the day before Uefa stages its annual congress in Brussels, the governing body said all parties had agreed a way forward respecting the principle of sporting merit with emphasis on long-term club sustainability and the enhancement of fan experience through the use of technology."
"The development comes three and a half months after Real, the sole surviving proponent of the ill-fated 12-club breakaway, announced they would seek substantial damages from Uefa for blocking the project. It originally fell apart within days of its launch in 2021. Uefa's statement suggested that any legal case would also now be closed."
Uefa reached an agreement in principle with Real Madrid and the European Football Clubs group to end the European Super League dispute and to respect sporting merit. The agreement emphasizes long-term club sustainability and plans to enhance the fan experience through the use of technology. Real Madrid had remained the lone proponent and had threatened substantial damages after the project's collapse in 2021. The agreement is intended to resolve related legal disputes and suggests any pending cases will be closed once principles are executed. Uefa announced the deal in a surprise statement ahead of its annual congress in Brussels. More details will follow.
