Italian Football Federation To Ban European Super League Clubs

Meanwhile, Italian Football Federation (FGIC) has introduced a clause that will ban clubs from playing in Italian Serie A from the 2024-2025 season if they are affiliated with the European Super League.

Recall that the European Super League has been one of the most controversial developments in European football post-covid-19 pandemic.

When it was introduced in April 2021, twelve top European clubs showed interest in it including Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Juventus that were seen as pioneering members of the league.

Within 72 hours after the introduction of the league, the arrangement collapsed due to fans’ protests, and threats from FIFA, UEFA, and domestic football federations.

Juventus were the last to exit the plan while the sponsors of the European Super League, A22 Sports continued to fight for the legalization of the league via a top court in Europe, alongside Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
