Infantino: “FIFA” announces its categorical rejection of the establishment of the “Super League”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has refused to hold a tournament called the “European Super League” outside the framework of international football.

“We categorically reject the establishment of a closed, separatist European League outside the framework of international football,” Infantino said during the UEFA Conference in Montreux, Switzerland.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino: "At FIFA, we can only strongly disapprove the creation of a Super League which is a closed shop, which is a breakaway from the current institutions, from the leagues, from the associations, from UEFA, and from FIFA."#UEFACongress
