a) with the aim of providing solutions to the current unsustainable situation in the football industry. The 12 founding clubs shared the same concerns. As other stakeholders in European football do-, particularly under the current socio-economic context. That structural reforms are indispensable to ensure our sport stays appealing and survives in the long-term. To that effect, on 18th April.
b) with the utmost respect for the current football structures and ecosystem. The founding clubs expressly agreed that the Super League would only take place. If such a competition was recognised by UEFA and/or FIFA or if. In accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
c) to bring financial stability to the entire European football family. Currently under the effects of a deep crisis that threatens the survival of many clubs. Testament of it, the announced commitment to establish annual solidarity payments for guaranteed annual amounts that materially multiply those distributed by UEFA.
(iii) The 12 founding clubs also acknowledged that the Super League was a unique opportunity to offer fans around the world the best possible show and to reinforce global interest in the sport. Which is not a “given” and is challenged by new generational trends.
(iv) We are fully aware of the diversity of reactions to the Super League initiative and, consequently, of the need to reflect on the reasons for some of them. We are ready to reconsider the proposed approach, as necessary.

We reiterate that, to honour our history, to comply with our obligations towards our stakeholders and fans. For the good of football and for the financial sustainability of the sector. We have the duty to act in a responsible manner and persevere in the pursuit of adequate solutions. Despite the unacceptable and ongoing pressures and threats received from UEF
