Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>On Friday, the European Union\u2019s top court announced that some FIFA regulations on player transfers are not in line with the bloc\u2019s legislation.<\/p>\n

It comes after former France international Lassana Diarra challenged the rules, insisting that they impeded him from finding another club after his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow was terminated.<\/p>\n

Diarra\u2019s signed a 4-year deal in 2013 that ended after a year, due to him being unhappy with alleged pay cuts.<\/p>\n

According to federation rules, if a player ends their contract without a ‘just cause’, the player and any club wanting to sign them are both liable for paying compensation to the former club.<\/p>\n

Diarra also claimed that a potential agreement with Belgian club Charleroi did not work out due to the rules, and sued fifa for 6 million euros. With the case still making its way through Belgian courts, it was referred to the EU court of justice<\/p>\n

The EU court stated that the fifa rules impede the free movement of players and competition between clubs.<\/p>\n

The court also denounced the federation’s rulings for limiting and preventing cross-border competition between European clubs.<\/p>\n
