PARIS (Reuters) -Some of the transfer rules of world soccer's governing body FIFA go against European Union laws on free movement, the EU's top court said on Friday in a ruling on a high-profile case linked to former France player Lassana Diarra.
The verdict deals a blow to FIFA and means the Switzerland-based body was likely to have to revamp its player transfer rules.
