The future of football after the European Court of Justice ruling

The European Court of Justice ruled that FIFA and UEFA rules on inter-club football competitions are contrary to EU law, siding with the Super League. However, the ruling does not necessarily imply that a European Super League is lawful and desirable according to EU principles. The court emphasized the need for proper process and transparency in exploring such competitions. The future of football might see a concentration of money, power, and decision-making in the hands of fewer people, with nation-state ownership and multi-club ownership becoming a prevalent trend. There is a concern about the potential harm to the pyramid structure, while fans and players are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future direction of the game.
