Kobe: Barcelona gave up their plans for the European Super League, but they couldn’t make it official because they had to pay a huge fine

On October 9, Cobe Radio reporter Isaac Fouto reported that Barcelona gave up the European Super League plan, but could not officially announce it because it had to pay a huge financial fine to A22 (European Super League promotion company), so the plan naturally died.

European Super League background:

On April 19, 2021, 12 European giants announced the formation of the Super League, but it basically declared bankruptcy in less than 48 hours.

After that, six Premier League teams withdrew from the European Super League within two days, and teams such as Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan also withdrew from the European Super League. Only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus remain in the European Super League.

On June 7, 2023, Juventus sent emails to Barcelona and Real Madrid to discuss the club’s withdrawal from the European Super League. On July 14, Juventus started the process of withdrawing from the European Super League, and it will take effect only with the consent of the Royal Football League.

In December 2024, the European Super League was renamed the United League and officially restarted, with 96 teams in 4 levels.
