After the ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the Super League, Bundesliga soccer team Eintracht Frankfurt has made clear its ties to the European Football Union. “We were and remain fully committed to the UEFA competitions, which we also underline by applying to host a UEFA Europa League final in Frankfurt,” said Frankfurt board spokesman Axel Hellmann in a club statement on Saturday.
It is believed that within the structures of the European club association ECA, it is best to work with UEFA and all recognized football stakeholders “in order to positively develop the sport on the basis of the European principles of sporting meritocracy,” continued Hellmann.
In the dispute over the establishment of a Super League in football, the European Football Union UEFA suffered a defeat before the highest European court on Thursday. The major football associations FIFA and UEFA may not make other competitions dependent on their approval and may not prohibit clubs and players from taking part in these competitions, the ECJ ruled on Thursday in Luxembourg. However, that does not necessarily mean that the Super League has to be approved, according to the judges.
