The European Leagues Association issued a formal accusation against FIFA, classifying the conduct of the highest football governing body as "abusive". The organization representing European leagues argues that FIFA has systematically resorted to its power to favor its own competitions and commercial interests at the expense of other football stakeholders.
The association also expressed concern about the risks that this conduct represents specifically for women's football. The growth and development of this sport could be compromised by decisions made by FIFA, according to the warning issued by the European entity.
This conflict arises in the context of broader tensions between FIFA and other European football organizations, which have questioned the way the world governing body manages the competition calendar and the distribution of resources in the sport.
