Players' union FIFPro is withdrawing its complaint to the European Commission after ratifying a deal over transfer reforms with FIFA, the two organisations announced. Among the new measures is a commitment by world football's governing body FIFA to set up a taskforce to look into the transfer system after this summer's record-breaking window sparked renewed unease at FIFPro.
Another initiative is the streamlining of "dispute resolutions" between players and clubs. The deal is between the players union, FIFA, the European Clubs Association, and the World League Forum. "FIFPro is pleased with the new spirit of cooperation shown by FIFA and its willingness to listen to the concerns of players," said FIFPro president Philippe Piat.
