The English Premier League has confirmed that the six
English clubs that secretly agreed to play in a European Super League (ESL)
will pay a combined £22m fine.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Premier
League and the Football Association on Wednesday afternoon.
The teams – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham – have also agreed to a £25m fine and a potential 30-point deduction, if it happens in future.
“As a gesture of goodwill, the clubs have collectively
agreed to make a contribution of £22m, which will go towards the good of the
game, including new investment in support for fans, grassroots football and
community programmes,” the statement read in part.
It added that “the clubs have agreed to support rule changes
so that any similar actions in the future would lead to a 30-point deduction.
“Each of the six clubs, in that event, would also be subject
to an additional £25m fine.”
