On April 18, UEFA announced that the English, Spanish and Italian Football Federations would ban Super League clubs from participating in domestic tournaments.
A group of major European clubs have been raising the idea of forming a Super League for many years.
`We reached a consensus with FIFA to resolutely reject the formation of the Super League,` UEFA’s announcement emphasized.
On April 18, the Super League representative announced that the tournament has 12 founding teams, and three other teams on the way to join.
Initially, German clubs Bayern Munich, Dortmund and two French teams PSG and Lyon were on the list of 16 founding clubs of the Super League.

During the emergency meeting of the European Club Association on April 18 to discuss stopping the Super League, no representatives of the 12 clubs mentioned above were present.
Profit is the first factor that brings the owners of Europe’s 12 biggest clubs together.
On the contrary, UEFA took a significant step forward in preventing the organization of the Super League when reaching an agreement with the three most important member federations, England, Italy and Spain.
`We uphold the basic principles of football: solidarity, inclusion and fairness,` FIFA announced on April 18.
