ECJ ruling: the FIGC against the Super League for the good of Italian football
The FIGC reiterates its intention to protect the national leagues, for the defence of the broader and more general principle of sporting merit and the respect of international schedules.Thursday, December 21, 2023
Following the ruling of the European Court of Justice on the Super League case, the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (Italian Football Federation), fully recognising itself as a member of the superordinate bodies of UEFA and FIFA, reiterates its intention to protect the national leagues, for the defence of the broader and more general principle of sporting merit and the respect of international schedules. For these reasons, in compliance with national laws and international regulations, the FIGC believes that the Super League is not a project that is compatible with these conditions and will always act in the best interests of Italian football.
