Super League: what sanctions might Inter, Juve and Milan face?
by Football Italia
Inter, Milan and Juventus are the Serie A clubs that reportedly agreed to participate in the Super League, but UEFA has warned their players could be banned from playing in any other competition.
The New York Times broke the news of an agreement reached by a few top European clubs, including Juventus, Inter and Milan, regarding creating a Super League.
The Lega Serie A held an emergency one-hour meeting this morning to discuss the matter.
UEFA has released a joint statement with the leading European football federations revealing which sanctions the participating clubs could face.
“We will consider all measures available to us, at all levels, both judicial and sporting in order to prevent this happening. Football is based on open competitions and sporting merit; it cannot be any other way,” the statement reads.
“As previously announced by FIFA and the six Federations, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams.
“We thank those clubs in other countries, especially the French and German clubs, who have refused to sign up to this. We call on all lovers of football, supporters and politicians, to join us in fighting against such a project if it were to be announced. This persistent self-interest of a few has been going on for too long. Enough is enough.”
