Laws for The Games: How the EU can reform sports governance (October 2024)
This policy brief, produced in collaboration with FairSquare, makes the case for an enhanced role for the European Union in the reform of sports governance. It argues that greater public control of sport is needed, with serious and systematic misgovernance at football’s world governing body, FIFA, providing a case in point. The brief lays out the advantages of EU regulation over national and international action, the legal basis for this regulation, the form it could take, and the steps required to make it happen.
