Today’s ruling is an epochal turning point, comparable to the Bosman ruling for impact on the world of football. There are the conditions for a revolution, which will be long, despite today’s moves by A22, but inexorable. A sentence that brought down the UEFA and FIFA monopolythat of the court presided over by the Belgian Koien Lenaerts, Bosman’s compatriot, ironically: the big European clubs and the Arab world, which for some years has dreamed of getting its hands on European and world football, are watching attentively and ready to seize the opportunities that will show up.
Super League, it’s a revolution: the EU Court finds FIFA and UEFA wrong: “Banning other tournaments is illegal”. A22: “The monopoly is over” by Matteo Pinci 21 December 2023
The beginning of a slow change
The impact is comparable to the ruling that liberalized the European football market in 1995, even if it will be the beginning of a slow change, generated by the crack from which the split will be generated. To imagine an alternative competition, it will take a few years: the new Champions League has secured TV contracts for the next five years, a period that will allow the alternatives to organize themselves. Not only the A22 Sport Manager, which has inherited the legacy of the founding clubs of the Super League: the center of sports economic power is today in Saudi Arabia, in the peninsula which this summer monopolized the market, not just football. The dream is an invitational competition on the NBA model, involving the big European, South American, Arab and Asian clubs.
To be clear, there are no doubts and some mistakenly go to reopen the bar to drink cubas until 5 in the morning as Bern Reichart CEO seems to have been tonight.

Clubs ready to change
Naturally the main European clubs, especially those who have not taken clear and clear positions in these two and a half years, are ready to evaluate the proposals and above all the economic scenarios that arise. To avoid being faced with a divided European and world football, it will be essential to create a system, move compactly. A new project involving the best teams in the world would lead to greater revenues in a football whose economic resources are now running out.
Premier needle of the scales
The balance needle will be represented by Premier League, which has currently reached its peak and will hardly be able to continue the exponential growth highlighted in the last decade. This is why it cannot be ruled out that all the clubs will sit around a table to try to rationalize an offer which currently includes, in addition to the cups managed by UEFA, also the FIFA Club World Cup. The new competitions would guarantee managerial management of the product and a direct relationship with those who finance football, starting with the broadcasters.
