In a significant development, Juventus has announced its decision to rejoin the European Club Association (ECA), dealing a fresh blow to the proposed European Super League. The Italian football giant had been one of the main proponents of the breakaway league along with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Juventus' withdrawal leaves Real Madrid and Barcelona as the only football clubs still in favor of the controversial competition, which aims to replace the UEFA Champions League. ECA Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi applauded the decision, describing Juventus as possessing an 'amazing history' and expressing pride in their return to the fold.

The move underscores the dwindling support for the Super League, which initially faced massive backlash from fans and clubs when unveiled in 2021. This latest development makes the future of the breakaway competition increasingly uncertain.
