Players union FIFPro launches legal case to change transfer

Post by ardile »

Friday will see a legal case launched against world governing body FIFA at the European Commission in the Belgium's capital Brussels by FIFPro, a trade union that represents the interests of soccer players worldwide.

They will contend that the current system of transfer fees is uniquely unfair, uncompetitive and an intolerable restriction on the free movement of trade.

No other industry, they argue, would tolerate having to pay a prohibitive fee to attract its workers. FIFA was not immediately available for comment about FIFPro's legal action.

Soccer players, FIFPro says, are workers just like everyone else.
