Arsenal have become the latest club to reject the revived European Super League with the Gunners reaffirming their commitment to UEFA competitions.
They join fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea - from the six who attempted to break away in 2021 - in publicly distancing themselves from the relaunched Super League.
An Arsenal statement read: 'Arsenal Football Club notes the judgement by the European Court of Justice on Thursday, 21 December 2023 and our position in relation to the European Super League has not changed.
'We will continue to play in UEFA competitions and continue to work with fellow European clubs and the European Club Association (ECA).'

After the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg decided UEFA and FIFA had 'abused a dominant position' by threatening the original 12 clubs who tried to break away in 2021, the Super League organisers wasted no time in unveiling version 2.0 of their project.
A22 declared 'the UEFA monopoly is over, football is free' and then outlined proposals for a men's competition of 64 top European teams split across three divisions designed to destroy UEFA's Champions League.
The participants were 'guaranteed revenues' and solidarity payments, while fans were told every match would be on a free digital streaming platform.
But by the end of the day, it was apparent only the Spanish big two, Barcelona and Real Madrid, remained emphatically in favour of the Super League.
Manchester United were the first of the Premier League 'Big Six' to issue a statement in response to Thursday's news.
It read: 'Our position has not changed. We remain fully committed to participation in UEFA competitions, and to positive cooperation with UEFA, the Premier League, and fellow clubs through the ECA on the continued development of the European game.'
Chelsea's statement said: 'The judgement issued today by the European Court of Justice does not change Chelsea FC's position.
The ruling comes as a huge blow to FIFA and UEFA - run by Gianni Infantino and Aleksander Ceferin respectively

It's All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, with a show every Monday and Thursday this season.
'We firmly believe that, by working with the Premier League, The FA, other European clubs through our strong relationship with UEFA and FIFA, we can, together, continue to develop the European game for the benefit of everyone.'
Man City said: 'Manchester City Football Club confirmed in 2021 that it had formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League.
'Our position has not changed. We remain committed to the values of European football, and we will continue to work with fellow clubs through the ECA and participate in UEFA competitions.'
