UEFA, Real Madrid and EFC Strike Pact That Ends Super League Bid

The pact sets principles that must be implemented before legal cases are settled.

Overview

  • UEFA, Real Madrid and the European Football Clubs announced an agreement in principle designed to resolve disputes tied to the Super League once the new framework is in place.
  • The accord centers on respect for sporting merit, long‑term financial sustainability for clubs, and improving the fan experience through technology.
  • FIFA’s Gianni Infantino and UEFA’s Aleksander Ceferin welcomed the deal at UEFA’s congress in Brussels, describing unity in football as the winner.
  • The project effectively closed after a wave of withdrawals, capped by Barcelona’s exit last week that left Real Madrid as the lone promoter.
  • Real Madrid and promoter A22 had pursued roughly €4 billion in damages against UEFA, with final settlement terms still pending.
