European Leagues Expands FIFA Competition Complaint to Women’s Football
(MENAFN) European Leagues expands its competition law complaint against FIFA to include the organization of the women’s international match calendar and regulatory decisions affecting women’s football.
The association submits the expanded complaint to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition, accusing FIFA of “abusive conduct” toward the women’s game.
Representing professional football leagues across Europe, European Leagues initially files the complaint in October 2024 together with FIFPRO Europe and LaLiga.
The original case focuses on FIFA’s control over the men’s International Match Calendar, including the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The organization argues that FIFA uses its dominant position in a way that breaches EU competition rules. It also warns that the increasingly crowded football calendar places pressure on players’ health and well-being while threatening the long-term sustainability of domestic competitions.
The latest expansion follows European Leagues’ decision in June to admit 14 professional women’s leagues, including England’s Women’s Super League and the Scottish Women’s Premier League.
