Overview
- FC Barcelona said it has officially notified the European Super League Company and the remaining clubs of its withdrawal.
- Joan Laporta had tried to revive the project in October, stating the club wanted a path for Super League teams to return to UEFA.
- Organisers led by Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez reworked the competition in 2024 as the Unify League, linking entry to domestic league placings to gain UEFA approval.
- Several prominent clubs had already left the initiative, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Atlético Madrid and three Italian teams.
- Barcelona was among the 12 founding clubs in 2021, so its departure further clouds the competition’s future.
