On Tuesday 4 May, Professor Stephen Weatherill (University of Oxford) joined us for an online discussion on “The Law and Politics of a European Football SuperLeague: What Can Be Done? What Should Be Done?”.
Professor Weatherill talked to us about sports and EU law in the wake of the European Super League story. In his presentation, he addressed the EU sports law, competition law and internal market law dimensions pertaining to a European Super League. The event was jointly organised by the Erasmus Center for Economic and Financial Governance and the Department of International and European Union Law. It was chaired by Professor Dr. Fabian Amtenbrink, Vice-Head of the Erasmus School of Law. We are very grateful to all the participants who joined us.
