European football can change drastically at any time and UEFA seems to remain determined to avoid it, or at least that's how the Super League explains it with a new statement against the body

The Superliga has decided to position again in front of the UEFA. Beside To22, the company commissioned to create and spread the competition between the clubs, sent on 30 January a letter to the maximum organism of the European football in which it showed his worry by the treatment that was receiving by his part. The same goes titled "immediate cessation of the behaviour anticompetitivo against To22".

"From April of 2021, the behaviour and the actions anticompetitivas of the UEFA to the To22 (supported by a series of federations and national leagues that act of form coordinated with the UEFA), have gone headed to to frustrate the business initiatives of To22. This behaviour already has caused material damages to To22 (and to other parts), damages that follow increasing", argues.

The UEFA continues presionando to the clubs so that they do not abandon him

In the same text affirms that so much the company associated to the Superliga like other actors of the football have suffered pressures by part of the UEFA in public and privately to exclude them of the market, ensuring that with this break the measure cautelar dictated in April of 2021 in profit of the Superliga and his participants. Said measure was dictated by the court of first instance and ratified by the Provincial Audience of Madrid in January of 2023.

"The constant and unacceptable denigration of the reputation of To22 in the media and in other places, and the pressure and the threats to the European clubs go in between frames to prevent them that they consider possible projects in which it participate the To22 and to push them to announce his public support to the competitions of the UEFA", comments on the actions of the UEFA.

The Superliga has wanted to be very conclusive with the UEFA

In fact, they aim that "taking into account the measure cautelar mentioned previously and the sentence of the TJUE, surprises us see that the UEFA has continued, and even intensified, his behaviour anticompetitivo to To22 in all the fronts and have sufficient proofs of the behaviour of the UEFA and of the threats of sanctions headed to several European clubs", explains the communiqué.

Finally, they request that so much the UEFA as his executives "cease and desist anyway of action anticompetitiva" and give the same instructions to "any third affiliated to the UEFA or that act under his influence or direction". "We reserve us fully all the rights to undertake the appropriate actions in all the pertinent jurisdictions against the UEFA and, in his case, against the pertinent directors of the UEFA", conclude.
