FIFPRO and European leagues file complaint to European Commission over FIFA's 'abusive' international calendar

Loading player...
GUEST – Carl Lewis – Award-winning sports reporter and podcast host.

Players' union FIFPRO and the top European leagues have complained about FIFA's expansion of the international match calendar to the European Commission.

The complaint - filed by executives from FIFPRO, the European Leagues and LaLiga - focuses on the men's international match calendar and specifies the expansion of the FIFA Club World Cup to 32 teams from 2025 and the FIFA World Cup to 46 teams come 2026.

FIFPRO says the new football calendar infringes European Union competition law and "risks player safety and well-being and threatens the economic and social sustainability of important national competitions which have been enjoyed for generations by fans in Europe and across the world".
