European Super League dealt hammer blow as court backs UEFA
Judge in Europe's top court rules that governing body rules are compatible with "competition law" as UEFA hail "encouraging step towards preserving the European football pyramid" to leave Super League plans in tatters

"The Fifa-Uefa rules under which any new competition is subject to prior approval are compatible with EU competition law,” he said in a statement read out at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
“Whilst ESLC is free to set up its own independent football competition outside the Uefa and Fifa ecosystem, it cannot however, in parallel with the creation of such a competition, continue to participate in the football competitions organised by Fifa and Uefa without the prior authorisation of those federations"
Basically seems that the Super League is dead unless UEFA agree to it.
They'd have to leave their respective leagues to participate otherwise, which just wouldn't happen.
