Juventus To Be Kicked Out Of Serie A If No Super League U-Turn: Italian FA

The head of the Italian Football Federation said that Juventus "will be out" of Serie A if they do not pull out of the proposed Super League.

Juventus will be thrown out of Serie A if they don't officially withdraw from the European Super League project, the head of the Italian Football Federation said Monday. "If Juventus don't respect the rules, they will be out," Italian media reported FIGC president Gabriele Gravina as saying. "At the moment of registering for the next Serie A season, they will be out if they have not pulled out from the Super League." At the end of April, following the attempt to form the breakaway Super League which included Italy's three biggest clubs AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juve, the FIGC adopted a rule which would exclude clubs who take part in competitions not sanctioned by governing bodies UEFA or FIFA. Milan and newly-crowned Serie A champions Inter have since distanced themselves from the project, alongside seven other clubs from England and Spain. On Friday European authority UEFA announced sanctions, including financial punishments, against those nine clubs after they "apologised" and acknowledged "a mistake".
