Overview
- UEFA, European Football Clubs and Real Madrid announced an agreement of principles after months of talks focused on the wellbeing of European club football.
- The joint statement says the framework will resolve litigation linked to the European Super League once the agreed principles are executed and implemented.
- Real Madrid ended its push for a breakaway competition after Barcelona withdrew last week, leaving the project effectively collapsed.
- The principles emphasize respect for sporting merit, long‑term club sustainability and enhanced fan experience through technology.
- Real Madrid had pursued substantial damages following a Madrid court finding of anti‑competitive conduct by UEFA, LaLiga and the RFEF, though UEFA said the judgment did not validate the Super League or undermine its authorisation rules.
