Free webinar: EU Legislation Impacting UK Football Clubs - The Regulatory Risks Most Clubs Are Not Preparing For
Brexit did not sever UK football’s exposure to the European Union. Clubs still deal with EU clubs and players, EU agents, sponsors and investors, and UEFA competition itself, and a wave of major EU legislation is reshaping how those relationships have to be managed.
This free 60-minute session maps the EU regulation that reaches UK clubs despite Brexit, where the exposure actually sits, and what a board should be doing about it now.
