The Supreme Court on Monday allowed a soccer promoter’s antitrust lawsuit to go forward against FIFA and the U.S. Soccer Federation over the world governing body’s policy of not permitting a country to host league matches involving teams from other countries.
The high court order leaves in a place a federal appeals
court ruling in favor of Relevent Sports, controlled by Miami Dolphins owner
Stephen Ross.
Relevent sued in 2019 after FIFA disrupted its plan to host
a Spanish league match between Barcelona and Girona at Miami Gardens, Florida,
and the USSF refused permission to sanction a league match between two teams
from Ecuador.
A district court dismissed the lawsuit, but a three-judge
panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously
reinstated it. The Biden administration weighed in on Relevent’s side at the
Supreme Court. AP
