Premier League confident Brexit will not diminish its success

Britain's impending exit from the European Union will not affect the global appeal of the Premier League, the body said in a statement.

The Premier League insists Brexit will not have a damaging impact on the division's appeal around the world.

Britain voted 52 percent to 48 percent in favor of leaving the European Union in Thursday's referendum, triggering the resignation of prime minister David Cameron.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore had strongly backed the remain side of the vote, but over a million more people elected to leave.

In a statement on Friday, the Premier League confirmed that it would work with the government and relevant bodies on Brexit.
