Ruling of the cjeu.

After nearly 70 years, UEFA’s monopoly over European football has come to an end. Without fear of punishment, clubs can now propose and openly discuss new ideas for midweek European competitions. With the #RightToCompete, a new era begins.

Football is about competition. We call out unfair behaviour on the pitch. Yet UEFA’s monopoly over European football was fundamentally unfair. As regulator and commercial operator with substantial sanctioning powers, UEFA had a clear conflict of interest.

The CJEU ruling means clubs now have a right to propose new ideas to organise midweek European football competitions. With the #RightToCompete, UEFA can no longer silence clubs which 
propose change.

We believe when clubs have greater choice and power over how football is managed, football is better.
