The Association of European Leagues (EL) expanded a complaint to the European Commission against FIFA, accusing the world football governing body of "abusive conduct" regarding the women's football calendar.
The association argues that FIFA has been implementing decisions related to the international calendar that negatively affect national women's football competitions, compromising the economic sustainability of these leagues.
Beyond the financial impacts, the EL warns that the overload of matches imposed on athletes represents a significant risk to their health and physical well-being.
The complaint to the European Commission is part of a broader dispute between national leagues and FIFA over the control and organization of sports calendars, with direct implications for the functioning of women's football competitions throughout Europe.
