The Professional Players Association and the European Leagues Association have announced they are filing a complaint against FIFA with the European Commission. The complaint centers around the international matches calendar.
In a joint statement, the associations expressed concern that the current calendar does not consider the interests of the players. They argue it poses health risks due to the increasing number of club matches.
The situation is expected to worsen with the new season, particularly after the introduction of the new Club World Cup and Champions League formats.
The Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and Serie A have all joined the complaint against FIFA, highlighting the widespread concern over the demanding schedule.
