Overview
- The Madrid provincial court on appeal confirmed that UEFA acted abusively in trying to block the 2021 Super League project.
- Court documents cite UEFA and FIFA for granting themselves discretionary power to forbid clubs from joining alternative competitions.
- Real Madrid welcomed the ruling and said it will pursue substantial compensation while continuing to advocate for a Super League model.
- The club said talks held with UEFA throughout 2025 produced no commitments on transparent governance, financial sustainability, player health protections, or free global broadcast access.
- UEFA argues the ruling targets pre-2022 rules it has since overhauled, while A22 claims it is authorized to create its competition under prior EU and Spanish decisions.
