Justice for Players has initiated a high-stakes lawsuit against FIFA and several national football associations, which may significantly change the financial dynamics in football, involving around 100,000 professional players in the EU. The claim is projected to be worth billions and reflects broader concerns about fair labor market rules for footballers. The lawsuit follows an important ruling by the European Court of Justice that criticized existing FIFA transfer laws, emphasizing that footballers should not be restricted in their job mobility without agreement from their clubs.
"It will amount to billions," Dolf Segaar, a lawyer and board member for JFP, stated, emphasizing the significance of the lawsuit against FIFA and its potential financial impact on the football industry.
The lawsuit, spurred by a ruling from the European Court of Justice, seeks not just compensation but also aims to initiate discussions for new rules to improve the labor market in football.
