Players, prepared around the union FIFPro Europe, and clubs, are represented by the European Leagues and LaLigahe called “enough” referring to the state of the calendar without any relief. The decision is similar to that of Mathieu Moreuil, the representative of the Premier League in the table of many when serious warnings were introduced against FIFA, he was condemned in front of Europe because of the exercise. “abuse of power” in judgments beyond the body. For example, the dates of the international team are broken down according to the host.
European Union: “FIFA will not listen to us”
“The health of the players is not a matter of union, it directly affects the business. If we disagree with them, we will disagree with the show. We have to protect our industries,” he said. Umberto Calcagnosecretary of Associazione Italiana Calciatori. “Fighting for our interests doesn’t sound fair,” he complained. David Terrierthe president of FIFPRO Europe, the world’s largest organization in the short term after David Aganzo’s departure.
For Terrier, “FIFA does not listen to us”, a complaint that has been contested in three cases for which there is no answer. In 2021, the Professional Players Association (PFA), the Premier League’s players’ union, sent a statement signed by all the captains of England’s top flight to assess the level of performance, both physical and mental. In 2022 there was a similar awakening from Ligue 1 clubs which was repeated the following year. “It is disrespectful and intolerable that there is no dialogue with the unions that represent the players,” he said. Terrier scolded.
For the head of the European players’ union, FIFA is “failing to fulfill its role as a global regulator by using the international sports calendar for its own interests. great physical and mental stress builds players of the big leagues. “This harms the health of footballers and destroys national leagues, which are the foundation of European football’s heritage.”
With an eye on the Super League decision
LaLiga is not part of the European Leagues consortium, but since the president of Javier Tebas, the Spanish organization is in good agreement with the interests of this organization that brings together players’ employers. “It doesn’t say how many years of continuous struggle I have faced in terms of authority in the governing bodies of football. This is why it is important to know that FIFA and UEFA are important in the development of the football pyramid. Now, they are not using this position properly, as the Court The Justice of the European Union has reminded them in recent decisions, which recognize the responsibility of self-determination, and the great responsibility that can make them lose the situation, “he emphasized. Spanish lawyer.
The Super League decision emerged in several ways from the complainants, even though their version of the national game conflicted with the unique type of organization promoted by A22. Now, that sentence of December 21, 2023 he was a pioneer in exposing abuses of power by major organizations such as UEFA and FIFA, which also appears in the content of the case led by, among others, Alfonso Lamadrid de Pablo, expert in Community Law in Garrigues of Spain.
“In terms of the calendar, the jurisdiction has also been used, which surprises us, because it has happened only nine months after the decision of the CJEU which has sent a clear message about the need to have transparent, non-discriminatory provisions in all areas, etc. more at work,” said Tebas. For the head of LaLiga, FIFA “cannot control anything that affects the workplace. Without the agreement of the players and employers, as shown in The ‘Superliga case’ or the more recent ‘Diarra case’ (which affects the players’ freedom of movement after the punishment the former Real Madrid player received), this law cannot be accepted.
From the Club ‘SuperMundial’ to the Nations League
Therefore, for those who promote this case, FIFA’s measures such as the introduction of an extra window in June for the Club ‘Super World Cup’ have been a surprise, a competition that has been created ‘ad hoc’ which, in their opinion, has been successful. the straw that broke the camel’s back on the calendar. All of the teams that are directly involved in the main competition that goes through a few 32 clubs (Real Madrid or Atlético) are the ones that see changes in their system.

“Between the players and the employers is where it should be decided how these companies operate at work. I sit down with the AFE, and approve the calendar. After that there is a negotiation with the Federation, but the steps are as follows“Said Tebas, one of the harshest voices against the brutality of FIFA, who has several problems on the table.
On the court is the threat of a strike that some players – and Rodri, who is now injured, as a big sign – are encouraging secretly by avoiding being in the resting places like the ones that are there, the two visiting groups that have been transformed into the League of Nations which, far away. from the best offer to date, it has attracted popular criticism. “Football has sung a song”enough is enough“.
