France federation aims to copy Premier League finance model

French football is set to implement a new governance model inspired by the Premier League, replacing its current structure with a club-owned entity led by paid executives. The initiative, involving CVC Capital Partners, aims to simplify the industry by consolidating control from multiple stakeholders, including the FFF and LFP Media. This new model will oversee league organization and promotion while maintaining oversight from FFF with veto power over structural changes. The move reflects years of financial instability and competitive imbalances in French football.
