Let's talk antitrust | End game? The football transfer system

In October 2024, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) gave an important implications for FIFA’s football transfer system. It ruled that certain aspects of FIFA's transfer rules – whereby players who break their contracts without “just cause” are liable to pay compensation to the club they leave, with their new club jointly and severally liable and also at risk of other sanctions – infringe EU law. Belgium’s cour d’appel de Mons, which referred the matter to the CJEU, must now apply the judgment. Angelos Vlazakis and Richard Whish KC discuss the case, including the CJEU’s analysis and conclusions regarding the application of Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) which provides for the free movement of workers and Article 101 TFEU which prohibits anti-competitive agreements. #Footbal #FIFA #EuropeanUnion #Antitrust #Competition
