Player Unions Challenge Football Calendar Changes in Court

The player unions, including UNFP and PFA, have filed a case with the Brussels commercial court, arguing that the recent decisions by football authorities violate the players' rights under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and European competition law. With the support of the Fifpro Europe union, they have requested the court to refer the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, raising four preliminary questions concerning EU law. The unions have consistently emphasized that the current football calendar is overburdened and unsustainable.
