Judgment_paragraph 95 · Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA) v BZ (C-650/22)

95Measures of non-State origin may be permitted even though they are liable to impede a freedom of movement enshrined in the FEU Treaty, if it is proved, first, that their adoption pursues a legitimate objective in the public interest which is compatible with that Treaty and which is therefore other than of a purely economic nature and, second, that they observe the principle of proportionality, which entails that they are suitable for ensuring the achievement of that objective and do not go beyond what is necessary for that purpose. As regards, more specifically, the condition relating to the suitability of such measures, it should be borne in mind that they can be held to be suitable for ensuring achievement of the aim relied on only if they genuinely reflect a concern to attain it in a consistent and systematic manner (judgments of 21 December 2023, European Superleague Company, C‑333/21, EU:C:2023:1011, paragraph 251, and of 21 December 2023, Royal Antwerp Football Club, C‑680/21, EU:C:2023:1010, paragraph 141 and the case-law cited).
