The European Court of Justice ruled that FIFA's player transfer rules conflict with EU legislation on competition and freedom of movement, stemming from a case involving former player Lassana Diarra. Diarra challenged FIFA's restrictions after his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow was terminated, claiming it hindered his ability to find a new club. The ECJ criticized FIFA's regulations for impeding competition and the free movement of players, while FIFPro welcomed the ruling, indicating it could significantly impact professional football.
