Super League Sues UEFA, Demands €4.5 Billion in Compensation

A22, the promoter of the Super League competition, has initiated legal proceedings against the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), demanding compensation exceeding €4.5 billion. Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, confirmed during the club's general assembly that those responsible for the Super League had already begun the necessary steps to seek substantial damages.

The Super League sent a letter to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, urging him to comply with the European Court of Justice's ruling and approve the launch of the new competition, according to the text of the letter published by European newspapers.

A22 sent a letter in December 2024, requesting UEFA to recognize "Liga Unify," but received no response. Despite this, negotiations began but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. Therefore, with another court ruling in its favor and a demand for €4.5 billion in compensation, A22 is renewing its request for official recognition of the "Unify League" competition from UEFA.

In its letter, A22 details the negotiations it held with UEFA over the past year, which failed to yield any agreement. A22 considers these negotiations to have been a maneuver to gain time and delay the launch of the Super League. Consequently, A22 is demanding that UEFA compensate it for the damages and losses incurred to date, without this implying a waiver of the competition's launch.

The Super League promoter explained that it sat down for negotiations "to present a jointly agreed solution that would provide substantial benefits to fans, players, and clubs." It added that "during this 7-month period, we focused on a very limited and specific set of key objectives that have been the basis of our activities since 2021."
