Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Federation, describes the Superliga project as an ‘irreversible damage to European sport’

The Spanish manager thinks that the current competitive framework of climbing the ladder through sporting merits should “continue to be promoted”.

The president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, warned this Thursday that the creation of a Superliga as claimed by various clubs it would be “irreversible damage to European sport.”

“It would go against the rules of the European Union to create something separate from the current competition model,” he added in Zaragoza after a meeting with the mayor, Jorge Azcón, to discuss the possibility of building a new football stadium, that the Aragonese capital host a match of the national team and the centenary events of the Aragonese Federation that will take place next year.

“Soccer in the end is understood as a pyramid where the important thing is the base, girls and boys teams, where there are hobbies in towns and the beauty of soccer is that from the last boy and girl who participate in a competition it is connected with the team that wins the Champions League. We understand this model of climbing steps on its own sporting merits as the only one possible. Other clubs have understood it, in our opinion, in the wrong way ”, he highlighted.

Rubiales thinks that the current competitive framework should “continue to be promoted”, something in which the Spanish Federation has been “very clear” and has pointed out that although statements have recently been made on the issue of the Super League, it will not enter “into crossings. of tweets and opinions against those who defend something else ”.
