Ban threat

UEFA threatens bans for players in Super League

Addressing an emergency meeting the day after 12 of Europe's top clubs announced the breakaway, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin upped the ante, describing the Super League plan as a "spit in the face" of all football lovers.

"My opinion is that as soon as possible they (the clubs) have to be banned from all our competitions and the players from all our competitions," he added.
