- La Liga president called complaint ‘important step’
- No intention to challenge body as global regulator
The La Liga president, Javier Tebas, hailed “one of the most important days in football” after Europe’s domestic leagues joined forces with the global players’ union to file a formal complaint against Fifa’s imposition of the sport’s match calendar.
European Leagues, Fifpro and La Liga accused Fifa of “abusive and anti-competitive” conduct by expanding the schedule in a manner they believe endangers players and domestic competitions, pointing to the enlarged 2026 World Cup and the controversial new-look Club World Cup that will take place next summer.
