European leagues complain to EU about FIFA

The European Leagues Association has sought to expand its complaint against FIFA to the European Commission, affirming that FIFA's control over the match calendar, including international women's matches, leads to arbitrary behavior and creates conflicts of interest, as it functions both as the governing body of the sport and organizer of competitions. The association accused FIFA of abusing its regulatory position to favor its own tournaments at the expense of local leagues, thereby violating European Union competition laws.
