Celtic Issues a Statement Rejecting Breakaway Talks
Following the European Supreme Court’s decision on UEFA and FIFA’s regulation of clubs considering the contentious Super League, the debate over the future of European football and the possibility of clubs leaving UEFA’s protection has resurfaced. Celtic has made their position crystal clear in this storm of debate.
Their adherence to UEFA is more than a formality; it is a statement of their unwavering dedication to the fundamental principles of football. The involvement of the Hoops in the European Club Association (ECA) represents a significant and influential presence, helping to shape the future of football on the continent.
This pledge comes at a critical juncture. As whispers of the Super League resurface, luring some with promises of exclusive glory, Celtic’s proclamation serves as a rallying cry for unity and adherence to the game’s traditions. Peter Lawwell is on the ECA board and is at the forefront of discussions about how European football should be shaped.
Celtic Football Club has issued the following statement:
“Celtic Football Club has noted today’s judgement delivered by the European Court of Justice.
The resolution regarding the framework for prior authorization of other competitions refers to outdated UEFA statutes that were already amended in June 2022.
We must be clear that this does not in any way endorse or approve the so-called ‘Super League’ project.
Celtic plays an important, leading role within the European Club Association framework and as a club, we are fully committed to working through the ECA, alongside our fellow European clubs to uphold the values that define European football.
We can only achieve our objectives through the strong partnership ECA enjoys with UEFA.
The wider European football community is not supportive of the ESL, and Celtic, like many other clubs, will continue to promote the interests and protection of football’s broader family through the ECA and UEFA.”
