Judgment_paragraph 90 · European Superleague Company, SL v Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA) and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) (C-333/21)

90On the contrary, first, as the Court has already observed, the rules on a sporting association’s exercise of powers governing prior approval for sporting competitions, the organisation and marketing of which constitute an economic activity for the undertakings involved or planning to be involved therein, come, in that capacity, within the scope of the FEU Treaty provisions on competition law (see, to that effect, judgment of 1 July 2008, MOTOE, C‑49/07, EU:C:2008:376, paragraph 28). For the same reason, they also come within the scope of the FEU Treaty provisions on freedom of movement.
