UEFA<\/a> will look to support from the world football chief at its congress in Switzerland as it attempts to quash an initiative that threatens its prized Champions League and the health of domestic competitions such as England\u2019s Premier League.<\/p>\nTwelve powerful clubs \u2014 six from England, and three each from Spain and Italy \u2014 have signed up for the Super League, which offers guaranteed spots for its founding members and billions of dollars in payments.<\/p>\n
Currently, clubs have to qualify for the Champions League each year through their national competitions, and face a lengthy group phase before reaching the high-profile latter stages.<\/p>\n
The plan prompted a furious reaction from fans and officials, with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin saying it was motivated by \u201cgreediness, selfishness and narcissism\u201d, and Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp saying its closed nature was \u201cnot right\u201d.<\/p>\n
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are the English clubs involved, together with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid from Spain and Italy\u2019s Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.<\/p>\n
Three more clubs are expected to sign up, including \u201cat least two\u201d from France, a source told AFP. Qatar-owned Paris Saint-Germain are a notable absentee, while Bayern Munich, the reigning European champions, have distanced themselves from the project.<\/p>\n
Five more clubs will qualify annually for the 20-team, midweek competition, where two groups of 10 will precede two-legged quarter- and semi-finals and a one-off final. The competition is due for launch \u201cas soon as is practicable\u201d.<\/p>\n
It constitutes a serious threat to UEFA, who together with the English, Spanish and Italian football authorities said the clubs could be banned from domestic and European competition.<\/p>\n
The British government also said it was considering invoking competition law to block the breakaway.<\/p>\n
FIFA\u2019s reaction so far, ahead of Infantino\u2019s speech at the opening of the UEFA congress, has been markedly less strident, expressing \u201cdisapproval\u201d and calling for dialogue.<\/p>\n
The world body\u2019s stance is likely to be crucial. In January, FIFA and the six global confederations warned that any club or player involved in a breakaway would be ineligible for FIFA competitions.<\/p>\n
Backed by finance company JP Morgan, the Super League is offering the founding clubs 3.5 billion euros ($4 billion, \u00a33 billion) for infrastructure investment and to offset pandemic costs.<\/p>\n
The clubs, most of them heavily indebted and saddled with enormous player salaries, are expected to receive a further 10 billion euros in \u201csolidarity payments\u201d over the life of the initial commitment \u2014 much more than the returns available in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Britain\u2019s culture secretary Oliver Dowden said the English clubs could find themselves subject to a formal review under British anti-trust law, which prevents the formation of monopolies or corporate cartels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will put everything on the table to prevent this from happening,\u201d the minister said, vowing a \u201cvery robust response\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, organisers of the Super League said they would file court motions to stop players being banned and \u201censure the seamless establishment and operation\u201d of the competition, according to a letter to Ceferin and Infantino that was seen by AFP.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, the head of the new ESL, said it was \u201cimpossible\u201d that clubs would be thrown out of the Champions League, whose upcoming semi-finals feature Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
\u201cMadrid will not be kicked out of the Champions League, definitely not. Nor City, nor anyone else,\u201d he said, also insisting that players would still be able to represent their national teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball has to keep changing and adapting to the times. Football is losing interest. Something must be done,\u201d Perez said.<\/p>\n
The breakaway announcement came just hours before UEFA announced a new, 36-team format for the Champions League, which had been conceived to placate the continent\u2019s biggest clubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
