Special Collection Available Now, Open Access | From Superleague to ISU: How the Court of Justice of the European Union Reshaped/Renewed the Relationship between EU law and Sport

On 21 December 2023, the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union handed down its judgments in three key sports law cases: International Skating Union v Commission, C-124/21; European Superleague Company, C-333/21; and Royal Antwerp Football Club, C-680/21. Between them, these three cases will shape the application of EU competitional law, the freedom of movement, and Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to sport.

The purpose of this collection is to provide critical insight into the ways that these decisions will impact on the governance of sport, players’ contracts, the specificity of sport, and the potential for breakaway or unauthorised competitions to disrupt the European Model of Sport.
