Fifa: ********* leagues & Fifpro take legal action over ‘****** of dominance’

The top ********* leagues, including the Premier League, and global players’ union Fifpro will launch legal action against world governing body Fifa over its “****** of dominance” in the game.

The ********* Leagues, which represents 39 leagues and 1,130 clubs in 33 countries, says it is filing a complaint to the ********* Commission to protect the ******** of players.

It comes following growing pressure from leagues and player unions, including the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), over the number of games added to the calendar and the impact on players.

A Fifpro statement said the international calendar is “now beyond saturation”, “unsustainable for national leagues” and a “risk for the health of players”.

It added: “Fifa’s decisions over the last years have repeatedly favoured its own competitions and commercial interests, neglected its responsibilities as a governing body, and harmed the economic interests of national leagues and the ******** of players.

“Legal action is now the only responsible step for ********* leagues and player unions to protect football, its ecosystem and its workforce.”

The statement said Fifa has “consistently refused to include national leagues and player unions in its decision-making process”, having been urged to develop a clear and transparent process regarding the international match calendar.

The ********* Leagues includes the English Football League, Scottish Professional Football League, Serie A and the Bundesliga. La Liga is not a member but is joining the action.

Manchester City and Chelsea are among the 12 ********* representatives at the expanded Club World Cup, to be held in the USA between 15 June and 13 July 2025.
