(Reuters) - The Premier League's sponsorship regulations between 2021 and 2024 are "void and unenforceable", a tribunal ruled on Friday.

The decision follows a legal challenge by Manchester City against the league's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules, which regulate commercial deals between clubs and companies linked to their owners if considered above fair market value.
