FIFA welcomes CAS award recognising compatibility of TPO ban with EU law
With this decision, which came after a thorough and comprehensive examination of the arguments raised and an analysis of all relevant legal provisions, mainly of EU law, and despite a slight reduction in the original transfer ban imposed from four to three registration periods, CAS has recognised and confirmed the validity of FIFA’s ban on TPO, which was adopted in order to preserve the independence of clubs and players in matters of recruitment and transfer, and to ensure the integrity of matches and competitions.
"Following the decisions in interim relief proceedings before the Brussels first-instance tribunal and the Brussels Court of Appeal, which held that there was no prima facie case to adjudge the TPO ban illegal, CAS award is the first decision that unreservedly recognises the compatibility of the ban on TPO with EU law," the release stated.
