FIFA adjusts transfer rules after EU court ruling, but player union criticizes lack of clarity.

FIFA has adopted interim changes to its player transfer rules following a European Union court ruling that some of its regulations violated EU law, as seen in a case involving former player Lassana Diarra. The new rules adjust how compensation is calculated for contract breaches, shift the burden of proof, and define 'just cause.' Critics, including the players' union FIFPRO, argue the changes lack legal clarity and don't fully address the court's concerns.
