Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa mentioned on Monday the membership reject the thought of the European Super League, regardless of receiving “informal contact” about becoming a member of the venture. Porto will not be among the many 12 founding golf equipment of the controversial competitors, which threatens to change the whole system of European soccer. The assertion printed by the breakaway golf equipment mentioned there’s room for 3 extra everlasting members to be added however Pinto da Costa says two-time European champions Porto, who final received the Champions League in 2004, is not going to be one among them.
“There was some informal contact from some clubs, but we didn’t pay much attention for two reasons,” Pinto da Costa, instructed the membership’s official web site on Monday.
“The first is that the European Union does not allow closed-shop competitions like in the NBA, for example. As the Portuguese Football Federation is against this, and as part of UEFA, we cannot participate in anything that is against the principles and rules of the European Union and UEFA.
“If this goes ahead, which I very much doubt, it won’t be the end of UEFA and they will certainly keep having competitions. It must be recognised that competitions organised by UEFA are the official competitions.
“We are not concerned with being in or out, we are in the Champions League and we hope to continue to be for many years.”
The 12 signed-up golf equipment are Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
In a joint assertion made with the leagues and federations in England, Spain and Italy on Sunday, UEFA have mentioned collaborating gamers and golf equipment could be banned from “any other competition at domestic, European or world level”.
