France did not go so far as to follow Great Britain, which outright proposed changing its law to prevent any Super League. But the government also ended up reacting to the ruling of the European Court of Justice which opens the way to a return of this closed football competition which is so controversial. “The Super League project goes against the values that France holds for professional sport on a national and European scale,” said Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the French Minister of Sports, this Thursday on social networks.
“Faced with the threats that this project poses for our leagues, our amateur and professional clubs, our athletes and our sports movement as a whole, France will continue to defend a European model based on the fairness of competitions, sporting merit and solidarity. financial support for the societal impact of sport and its access for all,” she said.
Meeting on January 10 between European leaders
The “attempt to reactivate” the Super League is based “on a hasty and biased reading of the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union”, according to Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who welcomes “a unanimous reaction from European countries and stakeholders to block it.”
The minister also promised coordinated reactions between European states in the coming days. “The discussions that have been going on for several months with my European counterparts will continue in the coming weeks on these issues, from January 10 at the technical level, to jointly build avenues for improving the current model and strengthening its founding principles” , indicated Amélie Oudéa-Castéra.
