Abstract
The article refers to the mechanism of third-party ownership (TPO) in football. The author confronts the transfer market sectors with the necessity of external funding by investment funds. The author emphasizes the meaning of Brussel’s court decision in case Doyen Sport & Seraing United vs FIFA, UEFA and Belgium Football Association, which refers to the conformity of FIFA’s ban on TPO with Article 101 and 102 TFEU. The author compares this decision with CJEU jurisprudence related to the sport sector.
