The English teams will pay a fine for the superliga, with three UEFA rebels halting the proceedings

The six English football teams involved in the so-called Super League project will have to pay a total of £ 22 million as a “gesture of goodwill”.

Representatives of the Premier League said this, adding that in the event of further attempts to break away, each club would face a fine of £ 25 million and a deduction of 30 points in the English league. In addition, UEFA today temporarily suspended disciplinary proceedings against three teams that refused to distance themselves from the superliga.

While financial compensation for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham will go to football development, fan support and other community programs, the trio of rebel teams Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus Turin do not have to worry about punishment and possible exclusion from Champions League. “The appeal body of UEFA has decided to suspend the proceedings temporarily,” UEFA said in a statement.

The decision came after a verdict from a Madrid court, which issued a preliminary injunction in May, according to which FIFA and UEFA may not continue the case until the case is resolved. The court also asked the EU Court of Justice (ECJ) to examine whether FIFA and UEFA had infringed the law on free competition.

In contrast, six English clubs again apologized today for joining an ambitious and self-funded project for 12 elite European teams in April. Following the investigation, the league’s representatives agreed with the named teams on a collective payment of £ 22 million. Should their offense be repeated, they would face, in addition to another fine, a 30-point deduction in the highest competition. At the same time, their central representatives have already lost their positions in the leadership of the Premier League.

“Representatives of the Premier League and the Football Association have worked very closely together on this matter, and this agreement is closing the whole investigation,” said the representatives of the league.

Along with the English teams, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Atlético Madrid also withdrew from the superliga.
