This note sets out the key features of a new deal for professional football in the EU. Professional football in the EU is nowadays characterized by unlevelled regulatory and supervisory playing fields. These unlevelled playing fields hinder the establishment and functioning of the internal market and create a legal uncertain environment for professional football clubs and football agents, active in the most practised, mediatised and commercialized sport in the world. In support of clubs and football agents applying on their own initiative high standards of good governance, this note calls for EU legislative intervention to level the regulatory and supervisory playing fields to create a true internal market for football agents and professional football clubs with acceptable minimum levels of good governance for all.
