German Cartel Office calls for stricter enforcement of “50+1 rule”
June 17 – Bayer Leverkusen and Red Bull Leipzig could soon be among the German clubs forced to hand greater control to their supporters following an intervention from the country’s antitrust watchdog.
In a statement, the Federal Cartel Office called for stricter enforcement of the so-called “50+1” rule, which requires football clubs in Germany to maintain majority voting rights in the hands of their members. It allows for a degree of fan control and prevents an influx of foreign investors.
