> European Leagues has expanded its legal complaint to the European Commission, accusing FIFA of “abusive conduct” over the women’s international calendar and related regulatory decisions. The group says FIFA’s approach threatens the growth, financial sustainability and player wellbeing of women’s professional leagues. FIFA has previously said its calendar followed extensive consultation and that it can set the framework for its own competitions.
