The future of professional football in view of Super League vs. UEFA - How 15 judges may change the face of the world of football


This article elaborates on the future of professional football in Europe. To come straight to the point: that future is dependent on a renovation of the organisational design of UEFA; whose current structure leads to many conflicts of interest and is in need of reform. The article kicks off with an analysis on UEFA’s mismanagement of professional football’s conflicts of interest. Secondly, it scrutinizes whether the rule of law can help manage professional football’s conflicts of interest. Thirdly, it envisages what politicians could and should do to fundamentally address these issues.
