On Thursday, A22 relaunched its Super League project after the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that UEFA and FIFA and unlawfully blocked the competition when it tried to launch in 2021. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only two clubs that still back the competition, while PSG has publicly come out in opposition to it. UEFA has issued a firm stance against the Super League.
