In football news, major players’ unions and leagues have lodged a formal complaint with the European Commission against FIFA’s new international match schedule. They argue that FIFA’s decision to introduce an expanded Club World Cup, starting in 2025, infringes on EU competition rules and jeopardizes player health.
The groups claim FIFA made these changes unilaterally, without proper consultation.
FIFA, however, insists the new calendar was approved after extensive consultation and is necessary to balance international and domestic football.
This dispute adds to ongoing EU scrutiny over football governance, including issues like the European Super League and agents’ fees.
