Spain court bans UEFA, FIFA from acting against Super League
Madrid, April 21: A Spanish judge issued a preliminary ruling stopping FIFA and UEFA from taking any immediate action or making statements against the Super League.
The ruling from a mercantile court in Madrid said the soccer governing bodies must refrain from “directly or indirectly” hindering the creation of the breakaway European league – and came hours before the six English clubs involved in the project pulled out and left the competition in limbo. Judge Manuel Ruiz de Lara ordered FIFA and UEFA to “refrain from taking any measure or action, or from issuing any statement, which prevents or hinders, directly or indirectly, the preparation of the European Super League.” The 15-page ruling with precautionary measures, issued after a request by the Super League, said FIFA, UEFA and its members – including federations, clubs and domestic leagues – can’t threaten or sanction players and teams in the new competition.
