FC Dallas are still expecting to sign Franco Jara in the summer transfer window. But the conundrum of the decision helps illustrate just how uncertain football governance is at present.
Unlike most North American sports which are entirely enclosed, such that trades, transfers, and signings all happen within the same entity, football is a global sport, and there is much more connection between the clubs as a result. From competitions that span across different countries and to transfers that can see players move different corners of the globe, football is a sport that is played and managed across the world.
