UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin has made a clear statement regarding the controversial Super League, indicating that UEFA will not attempt to prevent its creation. Čeferin expressed his views on the matter, emphasizing the independence of football clubs to initiate their own competitions.
“We will not try to stop them. They can create whatever they want,” Čeferin stated, addressing the ongoing discussions about the proposed Super League, which has been a topic of intense debate within the football community.
The UEFA President also made a somewhat sarcastic remark about the Super League, saying, “I hope they start their top competition as soon as possible… with two clubs”. This comment appears to downplay the viability of the Super League, suggesting that it may lack widespread support among Europe’s football clubs.
Čeferin reinforced his stance on the sport’s values, declaring, “Football is not for sale”. This statement underscores UEFA’s position that the sport should not be driven by financial interests at the expense of its traditional competitive and organizational structures.
The proposed Super League has been a contentious issue since its inception, with critics arguing that it would undermine national leagues and the broader football ecosystem, while proponents claim it would create a more exciting and financially lucrative competition for Europe’s elite clubs.
