ABSTRACT
On the economic front, there was a business model competition between the great nations of European football before the famous "big bang" that was the Bosman ruling. Twenty years after the Bosman ruling, the economic model of football seems to harmonize itself at the European level: major TV rights, modern stadiums and well attended, in a favorable location and especially owners with a sufficiently broad financial base to assume the economic consequences of a sporting under-performance. With ownership of players by third parties, it is the influence of players' agents and speculation of new players with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) seeking to contain the spread. With the 2022 World Cup in the winter, it is the European leagues and their clubs that should suffer economically from the calendar change. The European body could go through to see the famous closed league project wielded by big clubs.
