A legal complaint against FIFA has been widened to challenge its handling of women's football across Europe, with 14 women's leagues - including the WSL - now part of the action.

FIFA is now facing accusations of abusive conduct towards women's football in Europe, after a legal complaint originally filed in October 2024 was significantly expanded.
European Leagues - the body representing top-flight competitions including the Premier League and Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) - first took the case to the European Commission over allegations that FIFA abused its dominant position under EU competition law. The original gripe? A failure to properly consult on the 2023 men's international match calendar.
Now the complaint has grown teeth. After adding 14 women's leagues to its membership in June, European Leagues has broadened the action to cover the women's international calendar too. England's Women's Super League (WSL) and the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) are among those now folded in, as reported by OneFootball.
FIFA has previously insisted that its 2023 calendar was the product of extensive stakeholder consultation and that it retains full authority over its own events. Not everyone's buying it.
The timing is awkward for president Gianni Infantino, who is already under fire from three continental confederations over a scrapped plan to attract private investment into World Cup events.
To make matters worse, rights group FairSquare has lodged a fresh complaint with FIFA's ethics committee. It accuses Infantino of breaching political neutrality rules through his dealings with US president Donald Trump and criticises his management of the FFE scheme.
Not exactly a quiet Tuesday at FIFA HQ.
