The CJEU determined that key Fifa rules governing player transfers impede free movement and are anticompetitive, which may significantly disrupt club football across Europe.
The court emphasized that Fifa's regulations impose considerable legal and financial risks on players and teams, creating a barrier to the international transfer market.
