In a twist that could mark a milestone in the world of football, the case of the Super League has reached a crucial point with the verdict pending at the Commercial Court number 17 in Madrid. The involved parties, mainly the managing company of the project and UEFA, have presented their arguments before Judge Sofía Gil, who must make a decision that could have a significant impact on the power of football regulatory bodies, such as UEFA and FIFA. During the session, which was live streamed, the importance of the recent ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was highlighted, which has been interpreted differently by the parties involved. While the plaintiffs argue that the ECJ supports their position by recognizing the lack of a legal framework for the authorization of new competitions, UEFA maintains that the ruling is inconclusive and that the initial Super League project was largely abandoned by the founding clubs. It is worth noting that out of the 12 original Super League clubs, only Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Juventus of Turin continue to support the project, with Juventus even showing intentions to withdraw. Meanwhile, other actors such as the Professional Football League (LaLiga) and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) are also in the spotlight, facing lawsuits from the plaintiffs. Amidst this complex legal web, the positions of the parties seem to be increasingly divergent. While the managing company of the Super League insists that the founding clubs remain shareholders and defends their project as an open competition complementary to national leagues, UEFA argues that the rejection by institutions and the subsequent clubs' adherence to official competitions demonstrate that the original project was abandoned. Ultimately, Judge Sofía Gil's decision could have far-reaching repercussions in the international football landscape, not only in legal terms but also in terms of the distribution of power among the various entities governing the sport. With the future of the Super League at stake, it remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved and what impact it will have on the future of football globally.
