Following reports that the big clubs in Europe want to establish a special league detached from the UEFA and stop participating in the Champions League, FIFA issued a warning to players today (Thursday) stating that if anyone takes part in a new league, they will be sanctioned and unable to participate in international tournaments. Such as the World Cup.
"Following the recent media speculation, the entire establishment of a European Super League is closed by a number of European clubs, FIFA and the six confederations mention once again and emphasize that such an enterprise will not be recognized by FIFA and the local confederation," FIFA wrote.
"Any club or player that participates in this event will not be allowed to participate in FIFA and UEFA events," they added.
Although a number of clubs have denied talks, Real Florentino Perez met with his Juventus counterpart Andrea Aneili and the two discussed the need for major changes in European club competition, which apparently led FIFA to issue the controversial announcement.
