Those who sign up for the Super League end up out of the Italian league. The FIGC launches an ad hoc rule to avoid the emergence of competitions beyond the control of FIFA and Uefa. Juventus, Milan and Inter were among the 12 founding clubs of the Superlega: the project, however, has stalled. “For the purposes of registering for the championship, the company undertakes not to participate in competitions organized by private associations not recognized by FIFA, UEFA and the FIGC. Participation in competitions organized by private associations not recognized by FIFA, UEFA and the FIGC entails the forfeiture of affiliation. The dispute of friendly matches and tournaments not recognized by the FIGC is subject to the authorization of the federation itself. The disputes of friendly matches and tournaments without the authorization of the FIGC entail the forfeiture of the affiliation “, is the position illustrated by the FIGC after the launch of the new standard.
“Anyone who believes they have to participate in a competition not authorized by the FIGC, Uefa and Fifa, loses membership”, says federal president Gabriele Gravina. “At the moment we have no news of who remained and who left” in the European Super League. “This rule – he adds – refers to national licenses. It is clear that if on June 28, the deadline for registration applications, someone wants to participate in competitions of a private nature, they will not take part in our championship “. The number one of the FIGC explains that” those who have interpreted the Super League as a act of weakness on the part of some clubs that are experiencing a moment of economic difficulty and insurrection in the football system, he is wrong. Surely, it is a delicate issue to be explored ”.
