Juventus have formally requested re-entry into the European Club Association and have dropped out of the European Super League, it’s been confirmed today.
The Bianconeri initially dropped out of the organisation back in April 2021 under the leadership of former ECA chairman Andrea Agnelli, who was part of the leadership for the European Super League, keen to break away from UEFA’s Champions League.
The Super League project was met with widespread opposition by fans and quickly collapsed, with the participating Italian sides withdrawing quickly.The Old Lady held on, alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, but eventually dropped out back in June of last year.
As announced by ECA Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi today, Juventus have now formally requested to rejoin the organisation, which’ll be finalised soon. The club have also cut ties with the European Super League.
Al-Khelaifi discussed the Old Lady’s decision at an ECA Executive Committee meeting in London today.
“I start the meeting with very significant news – after having several meetings recently with their management and owners, I am pleased to report that Juventus has requested to re-join ECA, which will be formalised shortly.
“ECA’s door is always open to clubs who believe in collective interests, progressive reform and working constructively with all stakeholders – we are delighted Juventus will rejoin the European football family.” (FootballItalia)
