Case opinions
Preventing Welsh clubs that play in England from playing in Wales is an unlawful restraint of trade
Decision by
Mr Justice Blackburne
Newport Association Football Club Ltd and others v Football Association of Wales Ltd [1995] 2 ALL ER 87 is a High Court of Justice court case between Newport A.F.C. and the Football Association of Wales (FAW). The case resolved around the Football Association of Wales refusing to allow Newport A.F.C. to play their home games in Wales owing to them choosing to remain in the English football pyramid instead of joining the newly formed League of Wales. Newport appealed this as a restraint of trade. The court found in favour of Newport and issued an injunction preventing the FAW stopping Newport from playing in Wales.
