A joint statement by 12 of the most storied European clubs, including Juventus, Inter and Milan, announced the Super League on Sunday.
It's a tournament formed by 15 of the wealthiest and most storied clubs in Europe, plus five more clubs that qualify through domestic competitions.
UEFA said it will consider "all measures available against the creation of a Super League: a "cynical project" based "on the self-interest of a few clubs."
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said he has 'never seen a person lie as much' as Juventus patron Andrea Agnelli and confirmed players who participate in the Super League will be banned from international competitions.
