Representatives from the company behind the European Super League have been told UEFA remains opposed to the concept, along with the continent’s clubs, leagues, players and fans.

A22, a company which was behind the organisation of the hugely controversial project initially launched by 12 of Europe’s top clubs in April last year, had requested a meeting with UEFA as it bids to reposition itself as an open and inclusive competition.
