A court in the Spanish capital, Madrid, has ruled to prevent the European Football Association (UEFA) and the International Football Federation (FIFA) from taking any action against the launch of the separatist Super League, which has sparked a "war" in European football. According to the court's ruling, Madrid Commercial Court No. 17 states that it "orders FIFA and UEFA to refrain from taking any action or conduct or issuing any statement or press release that directly or indirectly prevents or hinders the preparation process for the Super League."
