Premier League release official statement after new Super League plans go public

After their shameless money-grabbing attempt failed in 2021, a new 'Super League' proposal has emerged today - but the Premier League are having none of it.

A court has ruled that the European Super League can officially exist, stating UEFA nor FIFA can block teams from entering the competition which proposes the following format to replace the Champions League and Europa League:

• 64 teams - Three divisions (Star, Gold and Blue) with promotions and relegations.  
• 14 games each season per team. - 7 at home - 7 away.
• It would be an open competition with two phases: League and playoffs

So far, the likes of Man City, PSG, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Roma and several others have rejected the concept, with the Premier League now releasing the following statement this afternoon, believing a 'breakaway competition' would kill the link between domestic and European football:

Official Premier League statement - Thursday 21st December:

“Today’s ruling does not endorse the Super League — and the Premier League continues to REJECT any such concept”.

“Supporters are of vital importance to the game and they have time and again made clear their opposition to a "breakaway" competition that severs the link between domestic and European football”.

“The Premier League reiterates its commitment to the clear principles of open competition that underpin the success of domestic and international club competitions”.

“Football thrives on the competitiveness created by promotion and relegation, the annual merit-based qualification from domestic leagues and cups to international club competitions and the longstanding rivalries and rituals that come with weekends being reserved for domestic football”.
