The court's ruling emphasizes that for potential new competitions, FIFA and UEFA must ensure that their powers adhere to principles of transparency, objectivity, non-discrimination, and proportionality. The ECJ asserted that the powers held by FIFA and UEFA do not meet these criteria and are indicative of an abuse of dominant position.

The court stated, "Moreover, given their arbitrary nature, their rules on approval, control, and sanctions must be held to be unjustified restrictions on the freedom to provide services."

It is essential to note that the court did not pass judgment on the approval of a specific project like the Super League but rather focused on the broader principles surrounding the regulatory powers of football governing bodies. This development could potentially open the door for the revival of the Super League, adding a new chapter to the ongoing debate around football competitions and their regulatory frameworks.
