99In that regard, in the first place, as regards the protection of workers, it should be observed, first, that the protection of workers is not among the objectives of FIFA, as defined in its Statutes and, second, nor was that private law association entrusted by the public authorities with any particular mission in that area. That being so, there is no need to rule on whether, having regard to those circumstances, such an association is or is not entitled to rely on the pursuit of such an objective, since it is sufficient, in the present case, to state, in any event, that it is not apparent how the adoption or the implementation of the RSTP rules at issue in the main proceedings, as characterised in paragraph 74 of the present judgment, might contribute to the protection of professional footballers.
