ECA: 250 legal requests from 122 clubs in 45 countries since the start of 2024-25

The European Club Association has already received a total of "250 legal requests from 122 clubs across 45 territories" since the start of the 2024-25 season, according to the ECA on 23/01/2025. The European Club Association, which had 728 members at its last board meeting on 03/12/2024, had dealt with 315 in 2023-24 and expects to receive 485 by the end of the current season.

"These requests highlight the diverse legal challenges and opportunities that clubs face in the modern football landscape. From contract advice and training compensation to support with disputes and arbitration, the scope of legal assistance provided by ECA in support of member clubs is broad and complex," said the organisation chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

"ECA's legal team is dedicated to offering tailored advice and support to its members. By addressing the specific needs of each club, the legal services aim to safeguard the interests of clubs and ensure compliance with evolving regulations," added the European Club Association.
