Prior to its collapse, Super League organizers filed suit in the EU courts asking them to strike down UEFA regulations preventing clubs from participating in competitions not sanctioned by UEFA. The litigation proceeded to the European Court of Justice in 2023 despite the collapse of the Super League over two years earlier.

The article by Hoguet, published on January 29, 2025, in *The Regulatory Review*, discusses the evolving landscape of sports regulation in the European Union following the European Super League (ESL) controversy. It examines how the ESL's attempt to break away from traditional football governance structures has prompted a reevaluation of sports regulations, focusing on competition law, governance, and the balance between autonomy and regulatory oversight. The piece highlights the European Court of Justice's preliminary ruling that UEFA and FIFA's actions against the ESL might have violated EU competition law, leading to discussions on the need for clearer, more transparent, and fair regulatory frameworks in sports. It also explores potential reforms, including the establishment of an independent regulatory body for European football, the implications for clubs' financial sustainability, and the broader impact on the cultural and social role of sports in Europe. The article underscores the tension between preserving the traditional values of sports and adapting to modern economic pressures and fan expectations.
