Real Madrid has formally abandoned its European Super League project following a joint agreement with UEFA and the European Football Clubs association. The announcement, made on February 11, 2026, resolves ongoing legal disputes and emphasizes sporting merit and sustainability in European football. Barcelona's recent withdrawal left Real Madrid as the last remaining supporter of the breakaway competition.
Prominent Indian footballers, including Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, have issued a joint video appeal to FIFA for urgent intervention to rescue Indian football from administrative paralysis. The Indian Super League's 2025-26 season remains stalled due to the All India Football Federation's failure to secure a commercial partner. Players describe the situation as a humanitarian, sporting, and economic crisis, with livelihoods at stake.
