Legal action against FIFA has been expanded to include claims of "abusive conduct" toward the women's game, according to a recent report. The European Leagues, which represent 53 professional football divisions and 1,328 clubs across 34 countries, initially filed a complaint with the European Commission in October 2024. The original claim focused on FIFA's alleged abuse of a dominant position in men's international football. Recently, the complaint has been broadened to address how FIFA manages the women's international match schedule and related regulations. The European Leagues argue that FIFA’s actions are undermining the growth and financial stability of women's professional leagues, as well as the health and well-being of female players. The submission highlights what it calls a conflict of interest stemming from FIFA's dual role as both the governing body of world football and the organizer of major competitions. The European Leagues claim this dual role has allowed FIFA to prioritize its own commercial interests over the development of women's football and European national leagues. This expansion of the legal complaint follows the European Leagues’ recent inclusion of 14 women’s divisions into its membership, including the Women’s Super League and the Scottish Women’s Premier League. Meanwhile, FIFA President Gianni Infantino is preparing to seek re-election for a third term, which would take him through 2031. He first assumed the presidency in 2016. His re-election comes amid scrutiny, particularly over his proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup and other competitions to private investors. This proposal sparked significant global criticism and a threatened boycott by UEFA, the European football governing body. However, UEFA later dropped the threat after FIFA assured them the plan would not move forward. Infantino has faced pressure from several football confederations following the cancellation of the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which aimed to modernize FIFA’s operations. Recently, FIFA accused UEFA of running a "smear campaign" against it and its leadership, and it has challenged legal actions related to Infantino’s investment proposal. Earlier this year, UEFA filed legal documents in the United States requesting evidence and documents from FIFA, warning it could pursue a criminal complaint in Switzerland. FIFA has not yet responded to these developments.
