Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund have issued a statement on the European Super League.

Borussia Dortmund Statement

Borussia Dortmund chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke gave a statement on Monday morning regarding the discussion of the establishment of a European Super League.

“The board members of the European Club Association (ECA) came together for a virtual meeting on Sunday evening, where it was agreed that the board’s decision from last Friday still stands,” said Watzke, going on to add: “This decision dictates that all clubs wish to implement the proposed reforms to the UEFA Champions League. The ECA board members took a clear stance in rejecting plans for the establishment of a Super League.”

Watzke also stressed that “both German clubs on the ECA board, FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, shared exactly the same stance throughout all discussions.”
