The commentary
The dispute over FIFA’s transfer rules: The European Court of Justice has ruled against FIFA and stated that some of its transfer rules are in breach of European Union law. This decision might be a landmark decision and have a significant impact on the world of football transfers.
Investigation in Switzerland: Veron Mosengo-Omba, the Swiss Secretary General of the African Football Confederation, is under investigation in Switzerland on suspicion of misappropriation of funds. A report by a financial institution in the canton of Fribourg pointed to irregularities in transactions on Mosengo-Omba’s account, including actions that appeared to make it difficult to trace cash flows, such as large cash withdrawals or deposits.
