Liverpool Football Club have issued a public statement following Thursday’s ruling from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg stated that Fifa and Uefa had “abused a dominant position” by threatening the breakway Super League clubs and their players with sanctions and exclusion from major competitions.
A new European Super League (ESL) proposal was later released, but clubs have been quick to distance themselves from the project, and now Liverpool have reiterated their position.
The club statement read: “Yesterday’s ruling by the European Court of Justice does not change Liverpool FC’s previous stance on a proposed European Super League. Our involvement has been discontinued. We will continue to work with fellow clubs through the ECA and participate in UEFA competitions.”
