Overview
- Spain’s Madrid regional court rejected appeals by UEFA, LaLiga and the RFEF, confirming that UEFA misused its dominant position to stifle the 2021 Super League attempt.
- Real Madrid welcomed the ruling and said it will pursue significant damages from UEFA, though the club did not specify an amount.
- UEFA said it has taken note of the judgment and will review it before deciding next steps, stressing that its 2022–24 eligibility framework remains fully in force.
- The court’s confirmation builds on the ECJ’s 2023 decision and a 2024 Madrid commercial court ruling that found UEFA’s prior statutes unlawfully restricted market access.
- Promoter A22 continues to push a reworked competition and filed a ‘Unify League’ proposal in December 2024, yet broad political and fan opposition persists and only Real Madrid and Barcelona openly back the project.
