Legal & Regulatory

Managing Legal and Regulatory Challenges in Football

This focus area helps clubs navigate the legal and regulatory landscape of European football, ensuring their interests are protected and their voices are heard in UEFA and FIFA reforms. It tracks key court and arbitral decisions to show clubs how rulings affect the game.

The goal is to give clubs clear, practical guidance that supports smart decision-making and stronger risk management. By acting as a proactive partner, the workstream ensures clubs are ready to respond effectively to changes that affect the game.

Victoriano Melero of Paris Saint-Germain chairs the Working Group, with EFC Board Member Jan-Christian Dreesen leading this area of work. (Link to working group composition)
