The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has no plans to form a breakaway league anytime soon.
According to UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin, the reportedly proposed European Super League will not happen.
As seen by GameYetu on various news outlets across Europe, Ceferin confirmed UEFA has neither discussed nor been involved in any type of negotiations on a potential Super League.
"I can confirm we have never seen, never discussed, never been involved in the creation of this document," Ceferin said.
"We have some ideas. All I can say is that any Super League is out of the question. It will not happen. It is in a way a fiction now or a dream," he added, labelling rumours of formation of a breakaway league as ‘fiction’.
