After withdrawing from the Super League, Barcelona was readmitted to the organization of European football clubs

Barcelona has been unanimously readmitted as a member of the European Football Clubs (EFC) organization after formally cutting ties with the controversial European Super League project, the La Liga club said on Friday.

Barcelona officially withdrew from the European Super League project last week before submitting its application for readmission to the EFC, formerly known as the European Club Association until the organization was renamed in October.

The EFC, which represents more than 800 clubs across Europe, shapes key decisions on competitions, fixture calendars, financial frameworks, transfer rules and commercial policy.

Barcelona said EFC chairman and Paris St Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi personally presented Barcelona’s membership application to the board.

“EFC has expressed its satisfaction and honor in welcoming FC Barcelona back as an ordinary member and has expressed its willingness to work closely with the club to define its next steps and specify its involvement within the organization in this new phase,” the club said.

“FC Barcelona views this decision very positively and reaffirms its commitment to working with fellow European clubs for the benefit of football, its competitions and its supporters.”

Barcelona’s withdrawal from the Super League left Real Madrid as the only remaining advocate for the leading group.

However, Real reached an agreement with European football association UEFA earlier this week to end the bitter legal feud.
