Supreme Court Greenlights Antitrust Case Against FIFA and U.S. Soccer Federation

The lawsuit challenges FIFA's policy that restricts hosting international league matches in the U.S., a significant step for global soccer governance.

• The Supreme Court has allowed Relevent Sports' antitrust lawsuit to proceed, contesting FIFA and the U.S. Soccer Federation's restrictive policies.
• Relevent Sports, owned by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, initiated the lawsuit after plans to host international matches in the U.S. were blocked.
• The federal appeals court previously supported the lawsuit, which was dismissed at the district level but reinstated on appeal.
• The Biden administration has shown support for Relevent Sports in this legal battle.
• A recent agreement to remove FIFA from the lawsuit is under review, awaiting approval from U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
