The US Supreme Court let one of billionaire Stephen Ross’ companies press ahead with a lawsuit that accuses two soccer governing bodies of illegally thwarting his efforts to stage regular-season matches in the US between foreign teams.
Rebuffing calls from FIFA and United States Soccer Federation Inc., the justices without comment left intact a federal appeals court ruling that allowed antitrust claims by Ross’ Relevent Sports LLC. The suit accuses FIFA and US Soccer of enforcing an anticompetitive policy that divides geographic markets and restricts access to the game.
