Football: New Australian Football coach Tony Popovich has revelated his first Socceroos squad.
Popovich named his first Socceroos squad | 02:40The EU’s top court said on Friday some international football rules regulating player transfers are contrary to the bloc’s laws, in a landmark decision that could shake up the system.
“In a way, the Lassana Diarra affair is the Bosman 2.0 affair,” Diarra’s Belgian lawyer Jean-Louis Dupont, said ahead of the judgement, predicting the “end” of the current system in case of a favourable verdict. According to FIFA regulations, if a player terminates his contract unilaterally and “without just cause”, he must pay compensation which includes his remuneration and benefits until the end of his contract.
As a result clubs were not rushing to recruit Diarra after he left Lokomotiv. His lawyers argued the rules violated the EU’s free movement of workers, and by limiting the ability of clubs to recruit, were contrary to the principle of free competition within the 27-nation bloc. Although some restrictions could be justified to allow a certain degree of stability in the player rosters of football clubs, the rules in question went beyond “what is necessary to pursue that objective”, it said.
