(ANSA) - ROME, APR 20 - AS Roma released a statement on
Tuesday saying it was against the foundation of a breakaway
European Super League.
"AS Roma is strongly opposed to this 'closed' system, as it
fundamentally flies in the face of the spirit of the game that
we all love," the three-times Italian champions said.
"Some things are more important than money, and we remain firmly
committed to Italian football on a domestic level, and to fair,
open European competitions for all. "We look forward to
continuing to work with Lega Serie A, the Italian Federation,
ECA and UEFA to grow and develop the game of football in Italy
and around the world.
"Fans and grassroots football are at the core of our sport, and
this must never be forgotten". (ANSA).
