BRUSSELS—Players have never been closer to going on strike amid growing discontent towards soccer’s governing bodies, notably FIFA and its revamped Club World Cup that is being compared to a ‘Super League,’ the head of players’ union FIFPRO Europe said on Monday.
David Terrier was speaking to Reuters after FIFPRO Europe, the European Leagues association, and Spain’s LaLiga accused FIFA of “abuse” as they filed a joint complaint about the global governing body’s international match schedule to European Union antitrust regulators.
