PARIS — In the latest legal challenge to international soccer bodies, the European group of leagues and player unions said on Tuesday they will formally complain to the European Commission about how FIFA adds competitions to congested fixture schedules.
It also follows a European Court of Justice ruling in December which found FIFA and UEFA abused their dominant position as regulator and competition organizer in a case brought by storied clubs that tried to launch a breakaway Super League in 2021. The European Commission in Brussels is the executive arm of the 27-nation European Union and can intervene on alleged breaches of competition law.
“The international match calendar is now beyond saturation and has become unsustainable for national leagues and a risk for the health of players.”
