Fifa facing multibillion-pound compensation claim from former players
Claim relates to finding of unlawful transfer regulations
Group says about 100,000 players seeking money
Fifa is facing a multibillion-pound claim for compensation from a group of former players after last year’s ruling by the European court of justice (CJEU) that its transfer rules are unlawful.
The Justice for Players foundation, a Dutch group that has the former England assistant manager Franco Baldini on its board, has served notice of its intention to file a class action against Fifa and the football associations of France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
