Competitive balance between national leagues in European football after the Bosman Case

by Trudo Dejonghe - Wim Van Opstal

In 1995, the Bosman case opened the labour market for players in European professional football. Ever since then, competitive balance between national leagues in European football has reduced in favour of the Big 5 leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France) and recently of the oligarchic leagues of Russia and Ukraine. In this article we show that changing structures towards an open labour market in separated national product markets resulted in a decreasing competitive balance in UEFA’s European team competitions. Next to a theoretical argumentation, we provide some empirical evidence and assess future options for the structure of European professional football.

Today, no one is surprised to learn that Turkey is one of the destinations chosen by many football players wanting to develop their professional careers. Dani Gúiza and José María Gutiérrez "Guti" did not hesitate to move to Istanbul to play for Fenerbahçe and Besiktas respectively. Yet, not all of them completed their Ottoman experience with the same level of satisfaction; Vicente del Bosque, who was dismissed by Besiktas, knows this very well; so do Luis Aragones, dismissed by Fenerbache, and Frank Rijaard, sacked after only eight matches by Galatasaray.

We constantly witness how newspapers explore -on an almost daily basis- the possibility of CESC using the infamous article 17 of FIFA’s Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players. I will thus try to clear out what that article means and how it might be used by a player.

Leuven, 12 – 15 September 2011

The relationship between sports, law and policy is at a crossroad. Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009 sport has become part of EU policy. In anticipation, the White Paper on Sport of 11 July 2007 represented an important step towards a comprehensive European Sport framework. Already before, the European Court of Justice repeatedly stated in its case law that sport is subject to EU law in so far as it constitutes an economic activity within the meaning of the Treaty. Sports associations at every level of organisation have been forced to comply with EU law and athletes have benefited from the rights enshrined in the Treaty.

The CAS sanctioned the football coach Edward Eranosian with 4 years of ineligibility.

There have been a huge amount of doping cases solved by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in both ordinary and appeal procedures, since the creation of the World Anti-doping Agency in 1999 (WADA). This time, CAS was called in an appeal procedure to decide about several decisions taken by a football federation regarding doping matters.

Statement on planned referee strike

Stewart Regan, Scottish FA Chief Executive:

“I have every sympathy for the refereeing fraternity at this time and completely understand why incessant scrutiny, criticism and questioning of their integrity has brought them to the brink of a withdrawal of labour. I cannot, however, condone what will amount to strike action and believe we must now engage in positive dialogue to avert the possibility that we will have no football this weekend.
