CMA competition investigation into sale of Leicester City FC-branded products and merchandise

 

The Competition and Markets Authority has opened an investigation into suspected violation of competition law by Leicester City Football Club Limited and JD Sports Fashion Plc.

The investigation concerns potential infringements of Chapter I of the Competition Act 1998 in relation to the sale of Leicester City-branded products and merchandise in the UK.

The CMA will conduct and initial investigation until March 2022.

The probe follows a similar investigation, launched in December 2020, concerning the sale of Rangers FC-branded replica football kit sold in the UK.  This investigation is ongoing.
