Football is approaching a new 'Bosman case' to shake it up

After the 'Bosman case' which succeeded in having football players considered as workers and therefore enjoying free movement within the European Union, we are currently facing a similar situation in Belgium.

In particular, a Belgian judge has asked the European Court to decide whether or not it is legal for football teams to be obliged to have a certain number of players who have come through the youth academy, as required by UEFA.
