Barcelona Preparing to Abandon Super League Plans Amid Improved UEFA Relations
Barcelona are reportedly preparing to step away from the controversial European Super League project, with the club’s relationship with UEFA having warmed considerably in recent months.
The Catalan giants, along with Real Madrid, had remained one of the last major advocates of the breakaway competition following its failed launch in 2021. However, sources now indicate that Barça’s board is leaning towards formally withdrawing, a decision that would mark a decisive shift in the club’s European strategy.
Improved communication and cooperation with UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin are understood to have played a major role in the change of stance. With financial pressures still a reality at Camp Nou, the club believes that rebuilding trust with European football’s governing body offers greater long-term stability than continuing to back the Super League.
Should Barcelona officially abandon the project, Real Madrid would be left isolated as the sole major club still committed to the idea, a move that could ultimately spell the end of the initiative altogether.
For Barça, distancing themselves from the Super League represents not only a political realignment in European football but also a pragmatic decision to strengthen ties with UEFA as they look to secure both financial support and competitive opportunities in the seasons ahead.
