EU Court Rules FIFA Transfer Regulations Violate EU Law: The Lassana Diarra Case In a landmark ruling on October 4, 2024, the EU’s highest court declared FIFA’s transfer rules incompatible with EU law. Originating from a case involving former French international Lassana Diarra, the decision could significantly reshape player mobility and the transfer market across Europe. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) found that FIFA’s regulations hinder the free movement of players and restrict competition. Specifically, FIFA’s rules mandate that players terminating contracts “without just cause” pay compensation to their former clubs, with new clubs sharing this liability. Additionally, new clubs may face transfer bans, and national associations must withhold International Transfer Certificates if disputes are unresolved. The court concluded that these rules impose “considerable legal, financial, and sporting risks” on players and clubs, restricting cross-border competition and player movement. The case dates back to 2014, when Diarra’s contract with Lokomotiv Moscow was terminated due to salary disputes. FIFA subsequently ordered Diarra to pay €10 million, limiting his ability to join other clubs. Diarra then challenged FIFA’s rules in court, leading to the CJEU’s ruling that these restrictions infringe on EU principles of free movement and fair competition. The implications of this ruling could be transformative. Players may soon have greater freedom to move between clubs without facing prohibitive penalties. FIFA could be required to revise its transfer system, eliminating clauses that restrict new clubs and requiring a complete rethinking of compensation structures. The ruling has drawn comparisons to the 1995 Bosman decision, which revolutionised player transfers by allowing free movement at the end of contracts. FIFPro, the players’ union, welcomed the ruling as a victory for players' rights, while FIFA has yet to respond but is expected to review its regulations. As a next step, FIFA and EU national football associations will need to overhaul their rules to comply with EU law. This transition period will likely bring challenges, including balancing competitive fairness, addressing smaller clubs' concerns over revenue loss, and ensuring a financially stable transfer system. The ruling has divided stakeholders: larger clubs see potential in relaxed player movement, smaller clubs fear loss of revenue, and players view it as an increase in their professional freedom. How FIFA and the football associations adapt in the coming months will shape the future of the transfer market in European football. https://lnkd.in/eAyVAk9p #FIFA #FootballRegulations #FootballLaw

🎙 UN and beyond: China's expanding global role 'We are not in the club membership strategy here in Europe. We are still in multilateralism. China is in the club membership strategy, but playing with multilateralism. They're playing two games. If the world goes as Moritz says into fragmentation, we need members for our club. We really do. And therefore, what we need to think about is Global Gateway or any other initiative designed as a club. I don't think we design things as a club. Not even Global Gateway.'
