Clubs playing in the Super League could be banned from all domestic competitions, and players would be banned from international tournaments, if the competition goes ahead.
On Sunday night, a joint statement by 12 of Europe's biggest clubs confirmed their plans for a breakaway 'Super League' competition.
The Premier League's 'big six,' along with three sides from Serie A and three from La Liga, were the founding clubs to have signed their name to the new competition, with three more clubs potentially joining.
Instead of replacing the domestic leagues, the new competition is set to be played in midweek and would therefore replace the Champions League, however it won't be that simple.
In their statement on Sunday, European footballing governing body UEFA confirmed that teams would face bans from domestic competitions, whilst players involved in the Super League would miss international tournaments.
"As previously announced by FIFA and the six Confederations," the statement reminded the 12 clubs involved, "the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams."
UEFA have also threatened to sue the clubs involved up to €60 billion!
