European Leagues Escalates FIFA Fight, Adding Women’s Calendar Complaint to Legal Action
European Leagues, representing 53 professional football divisions, has broadened its legal action against FIFA to cover the governing body’s alleged abusive conduct towards women’s football. The complaint argues that FIFA’s control over the women’s international calendar threatens the growth and financial sustainability of women’s professional leagues. The move follows earlier complaints about the men’s calendar and adds pressure on FIFA ahead of upcoming elections.
