hi! may i ask you something about this Super League? im confused because im new here. and what about that 1 billion euros for? thank you

Hi, of course 🫶🏻

The Super League is a rather complex topic, so I'm gonna give you a short summary and a longer version with the history and stuff under the cut.

In short, the Super League is a proposed football competition for football clubs in Europe that is aimed to rival the UEFA competitions, such as the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.

Format (this is the new version they just released):

It would include 64 men’s (spread across three leagues) and 32 women’s teams (spread across two leagues) playing midweek games in a league system across Europe. All clubs would play in groups of 8 – home and away – resulting in a guaranteed minimum of 14 matches per year. At the end of the season, a knockout stage of 8 clubs will be played in each league to determine the league champions. There would also be annual promotion and relegation between the three/ two leagues. The idea is that it would not interfere with domestic leagues.

History:

Proposals of Super Leagues in European football have been around for decades with the earliest ideas dating back to 1968. There were attempts to create a 'Super League' in 1987 and 1990 but they were abandoned after UEFA and FIFA threatened to sanction all involved clubs. In 2009, Florentino Pérez (president of Real Madrid) began planning a 'Super League' because the Champions League, in his words, was too "obsolete and problematic for the quality of the sport and an obstacle preventing clubs from growing their businesses and developing infrastructure." That idea resurfaced in 2020 when big clubs started suffering financially from the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing debts. That got American investors interested who pledged US $5 billion towards its formation. In January 2021, FIFA and all six football's continental confederations (AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA) issued a statement that rejected the formation of any breakaway European Super League and that they would ban any club or player involved from any competitions organised by FIFA and its six confederations.

Current 'European Super League':

In April 2021, Pérez announced the formation of the 'European Super League' (ESL) via a press release signed by twelve clubs that signed up to be involved (Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs, Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid). The aim was a new competition that "provides higher-quality matches and additional financial resources for the overall football pyramid, provides significantly greater economic growth and support for European football via a long-term commitment to uncapped solidarity payments, which will grow in line with league revenues, would appeal to a new younger generation of football fans, and also would improve VAR and refereeing." Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Juventus were the three leading clubs. There is much more to the financial aspect of it (like solidarity payments, welcome bonuses, participation payments, commercial revenue, etc.), but that's rather complicated and depends on what newspaper you wanna believe.

Reception:

The announcement led to a joint statement from the governing bodies of the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A condemning the formation, with all governing bodies declaring to prevent the ESL from proceeding any further. Football governing bodies from Germany, France and Russia released similar statements. UEFA reiterated their statements made in January 2021, warning that any clubs involved in the Super League would be banned from all other domestic, European and world football competitions and that players from the clubs involved would also be banned from representing their national teams in international matches. (The Premier League and their governing body FA ruled out barring the six clubs from domestic competitions and preferred to not take legal action.) Numerous politicians expressed their opposition to the proposal of the ESL. Amongst commentators, footballers and managers, the ESL sparked contrasting opinions. Media companies were mostly opposed to the idea (which does not come as a surprise as ESL promises free viewing of all live matches). Many football fans, including the fans of the involved clubs, were not in support of the idea of the ESL. The backlash led to nine clubs (all clubs, except FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus) announcing their intention to withdraw from the project in April 2023. However, eight of these nine clubs remained involved as stakeholders. In June 2023, Juventus announced their decision to leave the Super League project after facing a rumoured 5-year ban from all European competitions if they went through with the project. (That only leaves FC Barcelona and Real Madrid)

Legal issues:

In May 2021, the Super League filed a complaint to the Court of Justice of the European Union against UEFA and FIFA for their proposals to stop the competition. UEFA had opened disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid, which were threatened to be excluded from all UEFA competitions, in order to sanction them but these measures were stayed until further notice as a result of the rulings from the Spanish commercial court and Swiss authorities. In June 2021, the Swiss Department of Justice and Police and the Spanish Commercial Court referred the issue to the Court of Justice of the European Union to question whether UEFA and FIFA have violated two articles of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union. Article 101 prohibits cartels and other agreements that could disrupt free competition in the EEA and Article 102 aims to prevent businesses in an industry from abusing their position or taking action to prevent new businesses from gaining a foothold in the industry. On 21 December 2023, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that FIFA and UEFA's rules, which banned clubs from joining rival competitions, such as the Super League, are contrary to EU law. UEFA's and FIFA's rules making new football projects subject to their prior approval are also unlawful.

What does the ECJ's ruling mean:

The ECJ's ruling is binding and not subject to appeal. The ECJ's decision on UEFA's rules does however not rule on whether the Super League should (or is allowed) to exist. UEFA needs to change and clarify its rules now to comply with EU law. Once the regulations are updated, the Super League will still need to acquire authorisation to set the competition up. The ruling basically gives companies like A22 the right to pitch a new football competition and for their application to be judged on criteria which are "transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate".

Revival of the project:

In December 2023, A22 announced a new, updated proposal (which I already explained under format). However, many clubs have issued statements opposing the idea (including clubs, who were once involved in the ESL). As of right now, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and SSC Napoli have issued statements in support of the ESL. There are reports about various clubs from Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and other European leagues who are keen on joining (but no official statements from the clubs).

Why could Barça and Real Madrid receive €1 billion?

I believe this has not been confirmed by A22, but it has been reported by various newspapers. They would receive €1 billion as a reward for their loyalty, as they are the only two clubs who remained firm on their decision to take part in the Super League. That would obviously only happen if they find enough teams to set up the ESL.

#i tried to make this as fact based as possible #everyone can form their own opinion on whether they like the esl or not #i hope this somewhat helps #asks #anon

The Sonic comics' ... everyone (haters, fans, the writer) disappoints the world once more

Hold on tight, people. It's Salty Mashounen Time (with an extra dose of clunky English, written by a momentarily cranky Spanish-speaker).

Here's my attempt at a TL;DR of what happened recently:

The people writing IDW's Sonic comic started doing a bit of "harmless" teasing for gay pairings widely supported by the fandom currently —namely SonicXShadow and WhisperXTangle—, both in the actual comic's pages and outside of them. In the comic itself, they drew a panel showing Whisper and Tangle together and holding hands with a background suspiciously similar to the lesbian pride flag; outside of the comic, in Ian Flynn's personal podcast BumbleKast, he and some friend of his had the idea of celebrating Pride Month by making some sort of 50% parody, 50% serious, 100% hypothetical (officially) "Sonadow Special" where they spent almost half an hour theorizing how a romantic relationship between Sonic and Shadow would probably go in an official Sonic story (they supposedly did it all as simple fans and nothing else, and neither SEGA nor Archie officially had anything to do with this).

Sadly, Sonic fans reacted with all the grace and elegance of English hooligans in the UEFA Euro 2020 final (that is, exactly as expected of them). The bigoted vocal minority (AKA the daily bread in Sonic comics discourse) started harassing Ian Flynn for this, as well as all the shippers of all the pairings that aren't either SonicXShadow or WhisperXTangle. To make matters worse, some fans who aren't bigots or even support one or both of these gay pairings also started harassing Ian Flynn, for various reasons: trying to force him to turn any of these pairings into canon; scolding him because he gave false hope to fans while knowing full well that SEGA would never allow any kind of romance between main and/or recurring minor characters (whether from the video games or from the comic's original cast) to take place in IDW-Sonic; scolding him for actually saying there was officially nothing romantic between Whisper and Tangle in the IDW comic and SonicXShadow wouldn't happen in canon; accusing him of bigotry because that friend starring as his co-host in the BumbleKast had allegedly made a few homophobic remarks at some point in the distant past...

Flynn responded to this whole mess and tried to clarify some things via the following Twitter thread:

I guess I can commend Ian Flynn for coming out and speaking to the fans like this. I'm still very critical of the story he's writing at IDW, and I still disagree at a fundamental level with his vision of the Sonic series and its cast, but he's a good person in the real world (at least as far as he lets the world know over the Internet); he's not a bigot like some Twitter users (of course) are saying, and out of everything he did as head writer of Sonic comics, considering the possibility of including queer characters and/or pairings is one of the very few aspects of his writing I don't have any problem with, and I can understand why it's so difficult for him to have a queer character/pairing materialize in the comic's story (now, if such thing is finally green-lit by both SEGA and IDW, I may have issues later with the idea's execution by Ian Flynn and co. in the story itself, since this already happened with some other good ideas Flynn came up with when he tried to actually put them on the panels of either IDW-Sonic or Archie-Sonic... but that's a different topic).

However, I can't help but feel jaded at him due to the very direct and reckless way he interacts with the fans. There are already arguments to be made for a content creator to maintain some healthy distance from their followers, but this especially applies to Ian Flynn: as someone who spent so much time dealing with the Sonic fandom while writing the comics (and even started his career as a Sonic fanfiction writer himself), he knows very well how neurotic Sonic fans (from any subset of fans) can get. There are also the added challenges that come with trying to introduce queer themes and also trying to get it right on the first try. The desperate thirst of the LGBTQ+ community for good representation in fiction is legendary (and justified since they're on the verge of genocide in the USA and the UK, which includes the very real fear of being not only physically wiped out but also wiped out from the collective memory of the peoples of their respective nations, the Alt-Right has already openly declared "culture war" on them), and on these issues, the old adage "don't make promises you can't keep" is more valid than ever: if you're not guaranteed that both your publishers and the IP owners will allow you to introduce queer themes into your story and also give you the freedom to deal with those themes as you see fit, you shouldn't even leave clues for the audience or put any hints or do any teasing, because the desperate LGBTQ+ audience is always going to take it as a sign that they finally have their representation secured, and then they'll get rightfully angry when that representation never happens or is insufficient or problematic.

All in all, engaging the fandom the way Flynn does is not only highly dangerous in multiple ways, but also some piss-poor PR on a similar level to what you'd normally expect from SEGA themselves. Now he regrets the fandom's reaction, and the fandom certainly sucks for doing crap like this, but to be fair, he should have seen it all coming.

And then there's the terrible long-term effect of this scandal. Due to this kind of reactions from bigoted vocal minorities in the Sonic fandom, the IDW comic had already become quite criticism-proof: any negative opinion is often labelled as "anti-SJW bullcrap" merely because the most vocal haters of Ian Flynn's Sonic stories used to be Alt-Right nutjobs, neck-bearded InCels living in their parents' basement and secretly (or not so secretly) lusting over female anthropomorphic animals, and reactionary conservatives absurdly nostalgic for Ken Penders. But now, IDW-Sonic will be seen more than ever as an unquestionable piece of top-class literature comparable to Sophocles's most iconic plays, thus worsening this "echo chamber" thing going on both among the fans and between them and the comic's writers.

I try not to believe in conspiracy theories, but a part of me is starting to think all of this was partially staged at least: perhaps Flynn realized the way he was writing the story for IDW-Sonic was alienating a lot of fans from multiple, pretty varied subsets, and now those fans could actually provide some reasonable arguments to back up their criticism rather than some predictable homophobic/misogynistic rant; maybe he genuinely thought IDW-Sonic is the best thing he ever wrote and even one of the best stories of its genre, so he just ignored all those readers he lost and focused on the readers he still has, or he agreed with some of that constructive criticism from disappointed fans and wanted to stop writing the comic like this (he does occasionally tone Sonic's "jerkiness" down for a few comic issues, before toning it back up for the next big crisis in the story) but SEGA had already grown fond of the "self-righteous asshole" Sonic, his hypocritical friends and the "bafflingly incompetent super-genius" Eggman created by Flynn for the IDW comic; in any case, Flynn could have amped up the "technically not official" gay innuendos in the actual comic and his podcast in order to get a reaction out of those few bigots in the fandom (and also to get a reaction out of hardcore shippers, who are another vocal minority of Sonic fans with their own issues), then let his readers' blind devotion and the Sonic fandom's paranoia do the rest, making any potential critic of IDW-Sonic be dismissed as either "pro-shipper obsession" or "just the same miserable crap as the Far-Right weirdos" or even both.

--------------------------------------------------

PS:

If you still feel like going out on the Internet and calling into question any of Ian Flynn's or his crew's artistic/writing choices (either in their role as official Sonic content creators or in any other "informal" situation such as their podcasts, social media accounts and personal forums), feel free to do so (as long as you try to do constructive criticism and aren't bigoted or too disrespectful, of course) but forget about invoking "Sonic Team's original vision", or pointing out any difference between the IDW comic and other pieces of official Sonic content, or pointing out incongruences between the IDW comics and the videogames of whose stories it's supposed to be a continuation, or anything like that. Some purist fans like to imagine SEGA and Sonic Team are the guardians of good/accurate portrayals, but that's just not true and was probably never true: either they don't give a damn about how Sonic is portrayed in the West anymore, or they do care, but they totally allow and endorse —either by action or omission— the current Western Sonic content (along with this sort of comeback of the infamous planned differentiation between Japanese source material and localized Western versions), regardless of whether they do so by action or omission; for all intents and purposes, the "bastardized" Western version of Sonic, whether or not you like it more than Japanese "original" Sonic, is currently part of Sonic Team's artistic vision as much as the videogames made in Japan are (IIRC, I've already talked about this in a previous post shortly before the release of Sonic Frontiers).

In any case, most of the fandom was always wrong in one way or another about Ian Flynn and his dynamic with SEGA: contrary to what his fans may think, any flaws of the IDW comic ain't due to Flynn and his co-writers' creativity being held down by SEGA or its mandates, and contrary to what purist fans may think, he's not irreparably ruining Sonic forever (at least, not as far as SEGA and Sonic Team are concerned).

Why can you not just support human rights? What is the problem?

Those were my first reactions when UEFA refused to light the Allianz Arena in rainbow colours before Germany’sEuro 2020 match against Hungary, citing the “political context”. Later, it banned rainbow ads at two of the quarter-finals. Then, I saw the scenes from Baku, where security appeared to confiscate a rainbow flag from two Denmark supporters.

I am a proud gay athlete and am in a relationship with my Chelsea team-mate Pernille Harder. We are among the most visible gay couples in the women’s game. When my country, Sweden, beat Canada in the last 16 of the Women’s World Cup two years ago, I found Pernille in the stands at the Parc des Princes and kissed her. We didn’t even know anyone was watching but a photo of us went viral. Only then did we understand how powerful we are together, the impact we can make.

The Euros provided such a huge platform for UEFA to put its foot down, making it clear that all lives are equal and that human rights are not up for debate. But all this makes me think — does this mean that my life is worth less than someone else’s? Than someone who is living the norm, living a different lifestyle? Are they more worthy than me just because of who I’m in love with?

In the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to read a lot about the other side’s views and trying to understand the controversy. Why couldn’t they just show the rainbow colours? Why is that considered political? Human rights shouldn’t ever be political but the problem is that, historically, we have allowed them to become so. There are countries where gay rights are just common sense and we need to spread the message that human rights should be accepted everywhere.

While I was researching, I found lots of people arguing that sports and politics shouldn’t be combined, and footballers shouldn’t be activists — and it’s not just in England, nor is it just about the rainbow flag. In my home country, lots of people also hold the view that footballers should just stick to football. There are lots of views on what athletes should and shouldn’t do when everyone else on the street is allowed their opinions.

Footballers taking the knee have faced criticism all season, especially in the build-up to the Euros. As footballers, our activism ranges fromthe work of Marcus Rashford in changing lawsto people like Romelu Lukaku andRaheem Sterling standing up against racism, and in doing so, helping to form young children’s views on right and wrong. Pernille and I are part of Common Goal and pledge one per cent of our incomes to a charity that is helping LGBTQ+ youth in sport.

But none of this is about politics. It’s about challenging perceptions and views, changing how we treat each other, deciding what’s OK and what isn’t. If you want to call that politics, fine, but then, in my view, everything is then politics. You can’t put a finger on what’s politics and what’s not.

One of the questions I kept coming back to was, “What difference does it make to have a footballer as an activist?” I don’t think the critics understand the impact we have on individual’s lives.

For the millions of kids following footballers all over the world, how we act and what we say matters deeply to them. I have amazing social media followers who write to me constantly and I have always felt a responsibility to speak up for them and protect them. Right now, with the rainbow flag controversy descending into a discussion about human rights, I feel that responsibility more than ever.

On Valentine’s Day, Pernille and I opened our private messages on social media for those who are struggling to tell their friends and their families that they are gay. It took us a few days to get back to all the messages but we wanted to make a difference — a real difference. We know that being open helps people but we could do more, too.

I could feel what an impact it had. So many people just wanted to have a chat and just talk to someone. It made you realise what we are doing. We help people all over the world feel more secure about themselves and just accept themselves for who they are. It inspired me to keep going because you realise how much being yourself means to people who can’t, for whatever reason, be themselves.

Even if I don’t change anything on a big political stage, the possibility of making one person’s life a little bit easier means that being an activist is 100 per cent worth it. I know how much it means to our fans that Pernille and I are open about our sexuality, showing the world that our relationship is normal and should be accepted. It’s always been really important for me to stand up for what I stand for and keep my integrity. If I want to have my say, nothing will stop me from doing that. I have my platform and I want to use it.

But the bigger question is: are human rights even a political question? I don’t believe that they should be. Of course it should be acceptable to stand up for human rights. In my head, that’s a non-issue. It’s bizarre. It’s not about being political at all but so many countries have laws that make it so.

Pernille and I saw the news last month that the Hungarian parliament passed new anti-LGBTQ+ legislation criminalising education and advertising of LGBTQ+ content to young people. There have been other regressive laws in Russia and Poland. It’s frightening, plain and simple. Society isn’t always moving forward and taking new steps.

And it’s like that in a lot of places in the world. Still, to this day in 2021, it’s not accepted in the world for me to love the person I love. How can it be OK to have a rainbow flag or rainbow advertisement in Denmark but not in Hungary or Azerbaijan? That’s why it’s really important that we raise our voices now and we say that all this is not OK.

It’s not about a political question — it is about human rights, and human rights should be the same all across the world. That is my dream and if anyone goes away from it, it should be an outrage.

It scares me because in London, Pernille and I are allowed to be out and proud. People, however they identify, write to us that they cannot be open with their sexuality. Even if you live in Sweden or England, it is still tough to come out; there is still a process of telling people about your sexuality.

Even in the most accepting environment, it’s still so difficult. Imagine it as a sliding scale, with coming out ranging from difficult to impossible. For those in countries where it’s illegal — I can’t even imagine how that would feel.

Those people who tell us to stick to football also overlook the impact the sport can have in changing views and mindsets. It is a wonderful tool to show everyone that no matter your skin colour, background or sexuality, you’re welcome here.

For me, that’s what the rainbow flag stands for — that diversity, and everyone, is accepted. It’s worth remembering that only seven or eight years ago you never saw a rainbow flag in football. Now you see captains wearing rainbow armbands and I saw some of the England players wearing rainbow laces for their game against Ukraine last week.

We need football to push for diversity, equality and anti-discrimination in all its forms. Hopefully, football will one day become an environment where a male player feels comfortable enough to come out and tell the world that he is gay but that can only happen when the environment around that person is safe enough, and that moment is clearly not now.

It has become very obvious during these Euros that we have a long way to go and I’d never put any pressure on any individual when the environment is like this. Can anyone look at the environment and think that our work is done — that football doesn’t have a role to play in making a change?

Women’s football is far more open and accepting when it comes to sexuality, but we do talk in the canteen and the dressing room about what needs to change in men’s football for someone to come out. Pernille and I care about it a lot, so we are always asking questions of each other and other people.

And we know that it is scary — every time you speak out, you know that there is going to be a backlash. You have to remember the other side, the people that will praise you and be thankful for what you’re doing. But the hate threats, which we see all over social media, are real and a reminder that you are taking a risk in speaking out.

But for me, the reward is higher than the risk. I want to spread my message and I want to normalise the values that I have, regardless of whether people agree with me or not. The world would be a better place if people were more accepting and diverse.

Normality or Reality?

Some believe that racism no longer exists, that the society we now live is post-racial or colour-blind. However, it is clear racism is an ongoing issue both here in the UK and globally. For example, 95% of young black British children have witnessed racism in school. According to Delgado et al. (2017) many people of colour choose not to speak out about it, as they feel it limits their futures.

Because racism exists in society it also exists in sport. Black people do not have equal opportunities and do not receive similar rewards for equal or better performance when compared to their white counterparts. As a consequence, their desire for a successful career beyond sport or any other profession is dismal.

Racial abuse does not just affect children, it affects adults, athletes, teachers, police officers, lawyers and so on. Anyone who is a person of colour can feel as though they are at a disadvantage because of the colour of their skin. It is something they face and challenge every single day.

Examples of Racism in Everyday Life

It has been argued that race is a social construction.

Within the police force, at the end of March 2020, 92.7% of police officers were White, with only 7.3% identifying as BAME. Between April 2020 and March 2021 black people were over 3 times as likely to be arrested as white people.

These statistics provide evidence to their reasonings of why they are at a disadvantage, simply because their skin is not white. Racism can occur anywhere and to anyone, what is important is that we are aware and report it to the police, or if you are at work to your workplace management. If you or someone you know is experiencing racial abuse you can report it here: https://www.report-it.org.uk

Defining Racism

Racism in sport is defined as any form of discrimination against people based on race, ethnicity or nationality. This includes, and is not limited to, discriminatory acts, comments, policies and practices that exclude or hinder the ability of people of certain racial backgrounds to participate in sports.

Racism In Sport

Racism in sport is a reflection of wider prejudice and inequity that exists in both our societies and institutions. Athletes experience racial harassment on a regular basis, whether that be in person or online through social media.

Racism has been found in sport for a long time in European sports, but this has intensified during major international sporting competitions where players of colour are put on centre stage and under pressure.

In 2020 the men’s England football team lost to Italy in the UEFA Euro final. Instead of admiring the skill of Italy’s goalkeeper or congratulating the fact England had succeeded in coming so far in the competition, three players – Bukayo Saka, Jason Sancho and Marcus Rashford – were subjected to floods of racist abuse. A tweet was published in response to this harassment encapsulates this phenomenon: “When you score, you’re English. When you miss, you’re an immigrant.”

Furthermore, racism in sports can often have serious consequences for those subjected to it. Research has shown that in addition to physical and mental stress, athletes of colour often struggle with feelings of powerlessness, depression, and anxiety due to the constant discrimination they face during their sporting career. This can not only affect an athlete’s performance, but can also have lasting impacts on their mental health and well-being.

What is Being Done to Stop Racial Abuse?

There are several organisations working to combat racism in sport, which include:

The Institute for Sport and Social Justice

The Anti-Defamation League

The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP)

Additionally, many professional sports leagues, such as the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Soccer (MLS), have established policies and initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion in their leagues.

‘Taking the Knee’ was a major movement - a globally recognisable protest against racism, but it was prohibited for football players to do this before every match. This was only just the beginning. If we are to make progress in combating racism in sport, it is important for everyone to take a stand and speak out against racism whenever they see it.

Various important initiatives have been launched to tackle racism in sport, such as the #BritishAthletesUnite campaign across the UK, which aims to create a platform to end racism in sport. Initiatives such as this are important, as they provide education and awareness of racism in sport.

Additionally, organisations like Kick It Out are taking action to fight racism through their campaigns, educational resources and alert system. This ensures those affected by racism are provided with support and the issue is addressed.

Below is a short video on the backlash players received by ‘taking the knee’ before games.

What Can YOU Do?

Sports are a microcosm of society. So to end racism in sport we need to recognise that the idea that society is post-racial is wrong. We must also focus on eliminating racism in our wider communities.

This includes actively supporting organisations and initiatives that promote equality and racial justice. Additionally, we must continue to have discussions about racism and engage with communities to create change.

Finally, it's important to remember that sport should be accessible to all, regardless of race, gender, class, disability, etc. Encouraging diversity and inclusion and ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table is critical to creating a more equitable sporting environment.

Racism in sport is an issue that we must take seriously and address. We must take steps to ensure that all athletes, regardless of race, are given equal opportunities and treated with respect. This is our reality but let us not make it a normality. YOU can help end racism once and for all. We all need to do our part and take steps to ensure that all athletes, regardless of race, are given equal opportunities and treated with respect. We must also take steps to ensure that those who engage in racist behaviour are held accountable for their actions. Only then together will we be able to make progress in our fight against racism in sport and end racism once and for all.

By Iacopo Mutascio MIN READ 6 The history of AS Roma, one of the most successful football clubs in Italy, dates back to 1927. The club was founded through a merger of three local teams: Roman FC, SS Alba-Audace, and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS. Since its inception, Roma has become an integral part of the city's identity and has a passionate fan base.

Roma's early years were marked by mixed success, with the club fluctuating between the top and second divisions. However, in the 1941-42 season, Roma won its first Serie A title under the guidance of coach Alfredo Foni.

This success was followed by a period of relative stability, with Roma consistently finishing in the top half of the table.

The 1980s marked a golden era for Roma. Under the leadership of coach Nils Liedholm and with players like Bruno Conti, Agostino Di Bartolomei, and Roberto Pruzzo, the club achieved great success. In the 1982-83 season, Roma won its second Serie A title, finishing four points ahead of Juventus.

They also reached the European Cup final in 1984, but lost to Liverpool on penalties.

In the 2000s, Roma experienced another period of success. Under the management of Fabio Capello, the club won its third Serie A title in the 2000-01 season.

This success was followed by several strong seasons, with Roma consistently challenging for the league title and achieving notable victories in European competitions.

In recent years, Roma has faced some ups and downs. The club has had several changes in ownership and management, which have impacted its performance on the field. However, Roma remains a competitive team in Italian football and has a strong fan base that supports the club through thick and thin.

Throughout its history, Roma has produced many talented players, including Francesco Totti, who spent his entire professional career at the club and became its all-time leading goalscorer.

Totti, along with other notable players like Daniele De Rossi and Gabriel Batistuta, has left a lasting legacy at Roma.

As of now, Roma continues to strive for success both domestically and in European competitions. The club's rich history and passionate fan base ensure that it will always be an important part of the football landscape in Rome and Italy as a whole.

In addition to their Serie A titles, AS Roma has also won the Coppa Italia on multiple occasions. They have lifted the trophy nine times, with their most recent victory coming in the 2020-2021 season. Roma has also had success in European competitions, reaching the UEFA Cup final in 1991 and the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 1984.

One of the most iconic moments in Roma's history came in the 2000-2001 season when they staged a remarkable comeback in the Champions League quarter-finals against Barcelona. After losing the first leg 1-0, Roma won the second leg 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to advance to the semi-finals on away goals.

This victory is often referred to as the "Miracle of Rome" and is remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.

The Stadio Olimpico, Roma's home stadium, has been a witness to many memorable moments. It is shared with their city rivals, Lazio, and has a seating capacity of over 70,000 spectators.

The stadium has hosted numerous important matches, including the 1960 Olympic Games, the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and the UEFA Euro 2020.

Roma's fan base, known as the "Romanisti," is known for their passionate support and loyalty. The Curva Sud, the southern end of the Stadio Olimpico, is where the most fervent Roma supporters gather during matches.

The club has a strong rivalry with Lazio, known as the "Derby della Capitale," which is one of the most intense and heated derbies in Italian football.

In recent years, Roma has undergone changes in ownership, with American businessman Dan Friedkin acquiring the majority stake in the club in 2020. The new ownership has brought renewed optimism and investment to the club, with the aim of returning Roma to the pinnacle of Italian and European football.

Overall, AS Roma's history is filled with triumphs, memorable moments, and a passionate fan base. The club's rich heritage and continued ambition make them a significant presence in Italian football.
