Uefa president: “Clubs are free to create their own tournament, but don’t expect to compete in ours”
The news of a new attempt to revive the SuperLega by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus also came to the ears of Alexander Ceferin, which crushed her in her own way. “The clubs are free to create their own tournament, but don’t expect to compete in UEFA’s. They used a pandemic, now they use a war. I’m tired of this non-football project. This qualifies them. They live in a parallel world. While we work to save players, for them the fans are just consumers “, said the president of Uefa during the ‘Business of Football Summit’ organized by the Finacial Times.

Ceferin then spoke about the consequences of the Russian invasion in Ukraine and decisions made by the world of football. “Nobody expected a war in the middle of Europe. We too are moving like Uefa, I was on the phone for 48 hours with players and coaches to help them leave Ukraine. I asked the Governments for help, but they could not help them. nothing because no one could guarantee the safety of the people. It is difficult to explain how difficult these conversations were. One of the players who left Ukraine came directly to my house. We have to work hard to do our part. Hopefully the war and this madness stop as soon as possible, “he added.
Ceferin also reiterated his opposition to organizing the world Cup every two years. “It is not even a possibility to consider and I am happy that Fifa has also understood it”, she concluded.
