Abstract

Abstract: The Super League is a project competition thought of as an alternative to the present Champions League. In this regard, this new competition was designed to operate independently of FIFA and UEFA, which are the governing bodies of football worldwide and in Europe respectively, and would feature a semi-closed group of European teams (15 permanent and five selected based on their domestic results) from England, Spain and Italy (teams from France and Germany were also on the list but the selected clubs, PSG, Bayern München, and Borussia Dortmund declined the offer to join). This move made FIFA and UEFA condemn the proposed Super League, arguing against the ex-clusiveness of this closed league and considering a dangerous precedent that can be followed by other football clubs. The disagreement has escalated to legal actions and sanctions from FIFA and UEFA against the clubs that joined the Super League which, in turn, have started their own legal actions against the two international bodies. Even if the project seems to be abandoned, the situation is still ongoing and it’s difficult to predict the future of sport management after this bold move of several football clubs against the two governing bodies. The present article tries to analyze the situation using conflict analysis in order to find out future scenarios for all the actors involved. Keywords: Super League, FIFA, UEFA, conflict, sports governance.

超级联赛冲突:为什么每个人都对这个项目感到不满?

摘要:中超联赛是一项项目赛事，被认为是欧洲冠军联赛的替代品。在这方面，这项新赛事的设计独立于国际足联和欧足联(分别是全球和欧洲足球的管理机构)，并将有来自英格兰、西班牙和意大利的半封闭的欧洲球队(15支永久球队和5支根据国内成绩选出的球队)参加(法国和德国的球队也在名单上，但入选的俱乐部PSG、拜仁慕尼黑和多特蒙德拒绝加入)。这一举动使得国际足联和欧足联谴责拟议中的超级联赛，反对这个封闭联赛的排他性，并认为这是一个危险的先例，可能会被其他足球俱乐部效仿。分歧已经升级为国际足联和欧足联对加入超级联赛的俱乐部的法律行动和制裁，而这些俱乐部反过来也开始对这两个国际机构采取法律行动。即使这个项目似乎被放弃了，情况仍在继续，在几家足球俱乐部反对两个管理机构的大胆举动之后，很难预测体育管理的未来。本文试图用冲突分析的方法来分析这种情况，以便找出所有参与者的未来情景。关键词:中超联赛，国际足联，欧足联，冲突，体育治理
