Paris, March 10 (ATP). This is not a revolution, it is a new football as Qatar, ally with neighboring emirates within the consortium DFL wants to create by launching the Dream Football League, which official presentation was scheduled for early April. The investment in sports rights and in some clubs like Paris Saint-Germain was the trial balloon of an operation far more widespread: ATP had access to documents establishing the imminent creation of a world championship together in a league semi-closed, twenty-four of the most prestigious clubs in the world.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter, Paris Saint-Germain are among the European clubs have to already given their approval. They are part of the sixteen permanent members, which will add eight clubs "guests" in ways unknown. The competition will begin in 2015 and will run for five months in ten stadiums in Qatar (among twelve World Cup 2022) and six sites located in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
It is a question of budgets from two billion euros per year per club, decorated bonus based on performance. Each team "permanent" will have its stadium and a complex of training center, medical facilities, training center, club museum and training center. Players receive wages net of taxes three to four times higher than their current levels. Are expected to live in luxury complex built on artificial peninsulas that have extraterritorial status exempting customs laws in force on the continent.
Asked by ATP, a senior Qatari who wished to remain anonymous summary of the project: "The European crisis is no longer able to bear the cost of football clubs. We, we propose an alternative financial fair play : all clubs will be as rich as each other. way we preserve the big show, the most beautiful and finest teams players. This is a paradise for players that we will build the football future. " Some project components illustrate these remarks: the model of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, a giant amusement park dedicated to football and under construction in Doha.

Old Trafford will s 'fill with supporters, whose cries are reflected in real time in stages Gulf.
For UEFA and FIFA, the image of the explosion will not be usurped, since the creation of this championship is going to endorse, and involve the defection of clubs. " FIFA may well exclude them, it will not change, says Luc Dayan, who had participated in the project. P erhaps the Dream 'Football' League will change its name, but otherwise, it will change that she wants: the rules, the number of players, the duration of matches the color of the lawn or the terrain if he feels like it. "
Director of IBIS (Brussels Institute of Strategic Intelligence), Bonnie Pascal Fasse trying to take the measure of this revolution: "We thought football was simply a tool of diplomacy of Qatar, in reality it is almost an end in itself. It is to seize entire football, at least in its most media's hyper-elite, which takes its autonomy. " Disneyland A football is a dream that leaders Qatar alone could offer. It's done.
