CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE OPINION OF THE ADVOCATE GENERAL IN CASE C-333/21

Summary/Abstract: The article presents author’s own opinion on case C-333/21 which concerns the controversial project of organizing a football Super League (ESL). The aim of this initiative is to develop a commercial organizational formula for football competition, which at the same time would be independent of the structures of FIFA and UEFA. For the above reasons, the resolution of the dispute before the Court of Justice of the European Union has a significant impact on the answer to the question about the future of the organizational structure of European football. In this case, the EU competition law and the determination of a catalog of values are of fundamental importance that could possibly justify compliance of the restrictions applied by FIFA and UEFA in relation to ESL organizers with Articles 101 and 102 TFUE.
