FIFA's president has condemned the plans for a European Super League.

Gianni Infantino told UEFA's congress on Tuesday: "We can only strongly disapprove the creation of the Super League, a Super League which is a closed shop, which is a breakaway from the current institutions, from the leagues, from the associations, from UEFA and from FIFA.

"There is a lot to throw away for the short-term financial gain of some. They need to reflect, and they need to assume responsibility."

Twelve of Europe's biggest soccer clubs have agreed to join the breakaway league, but have been met with widespread condemnation.

Critics have painted it as a power grab as it allows a select groups of clubs to compete without the threat of relegation.

Politicians, UEFA, and other governing bodies in the sport have opposed the plans.

Infantino told the clubs taking part: "If some elect to go their own way then they must live with the consequences of their choice. They are responsible for their choice.

"Concretely, this means either you're in or you're out. You cannot be half in or half out."
