The Master's thesis examines the issue of compliance of closed leagues with the European sports model and European Union law. The Master's thesis is divided into three parts, the introductory part begins with a presentation of the foundation, such as European and American sports model. The European sports model is presented mainly through the eyes of the European Union institutions. The introduction ends with a chapter on the convergence of the two sports models. This is followed by an overview of important events related to closed leagues in the football world. Last but not least, the most extensive part goes through the compliance of the regulation prohibiting the establishment of closed leagues and the compliance of the closed league itself, more specifically the case of the Super League in the eyes of the European Union competition law.
