Crystal Palace’s European Dreams at Risk: What Hidden Crisis Is Shaking Football’s Foundations?
Underlying this drama is a broader crisis in football governance. The sport is rife with examples of fragmented regulation and reactive, rather than proactive, policymaking. Multi-club ownership now involves more than 400 clubs across nearly 150 ownership networks worldwide. Despite the scale of this development, FIFA has never clearly defined what constitutes a “club” in regulatory terms. Without a shared definition, enforcement becomes vague and inconsistent. Many within the industry criticize UEFA’s handling of these matters as lacking transparency and favouring wealthier, more influential clubs.
