American Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs have accused the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) of violating their rights to allow players to participate in international competitions. They claim that FIFA has failed to fulfill its obligations to protect the interests of clubs and players worldwide.
According to MLS representatives, FIFA allowed rules violations regarding player releases for international matches and tournaments. Clubs assert that FIFA does not provide the necessary support for clubs and does not compensate them for losses related to player absences from club matches due to national team participation.
"We need to change the system and protect the interests of our clubs and players. We demand that FIFA fulfill its obligations and compensate us for the losses we incurred due to its negligence," stated one of the MLS representatives.
American clubs emphasized that they consider the situation unacceptable and intend to seek fairness and defend their rights through official channels.
