Mathieu MOREUIL's profile

Mathieu MOREUIL

Director of International Football Relations and EU Affairs at the Premier League

Mathieu Moreuil is Director of International Football Relations and EU Affairs at the Premier League, where he leads the league’s engagement with European institutions, governments and football stakeholders from Brussels.

After joining the Premier League in 2010 as Head of European Public Policy, he has become one of the key architects of its strategy on regulatory, competition and governance issues in Europe. In this capacity, he advises the league and its clubs on the political, economic and legal dynamics that shape their operating environment, from competition law and state aid to media, labour mobility and digital policy.

Mathieu Moreuil’s expertise in football governance is rooted in more than 15 years working on sport-related issues in Brussels. He began his career at the European Commission, first in the sport unit and then in the free movement of workers unit, where he dealt with the application of EU law to athletes and sporting organisations.

He then joined public affairs firm APCO Worldwide, advising media and sports clients on European regulation and public policy. This combination of institutional experience and strategic consultancy has equipped him with a nuanced understanding of how legal principles, political priorities and market forces interact in European football.

Alongside his Premier League role, Mathieu Moreuil serves as a Board Member and Vice‑President of European Leagues, placing him at the heart of collective decision‑making on the future of domestic competitions across the continent.

He is a regular speaker at high-level conferences on the governance of European football, major legal disputes and the regulatory challenges affecting the game’s sustainability. With academic training in European law and public administration from Université libre de Bruxelles, Sciences Po Strasbourg and ESCP Business School, he combines rigorous legal analysis with a strategic, long‑term vision of the sector’s evolution.

This background allows him to identify the most likely political, economic and legal developments in European football and to help shape responses that protect both the Premier League’s interests and the wider European football ecosystem.

Excellence meets
Expertise

The combination of the best academic professors and renowned active experts in Law, Economics and Geopolitics in sports is the ideal formula for you to be in contact with professional and up-to-date reality.

The pedagogical skills of the lecturers of this program, together with their knowledge and professional profile, are key to their selection in this educational team. And they ensure you the best possible training.

This Executive Program is NOT about packaging up information. This Executive Program is about career transformation and game-changing results.

The WHY of this Executive Program is: Master the key rules of the sports industry. Use them. Or change them.

It will equip you with a sense of anticipation—the ability to discern what is likely to come next—enabling you to stay ahead of the curve and lead rather than follow.

The curriculum has been carefully identified and developed to cover the knowledge and skills participants need to achieve their professional goals in the sports industry.

The lecturers are not just university professors or academics but also and mainly, each one in his field, among the most respected, renowned and successful professionals in the sports industry. They practise what they teach, at the highest level, every day.

The lecturers represent all stakeholders in the sports industry which ensures you learn all sides of law, economics and geopolitics in sport, and not only the one inspired by the interests of sports governing bodies. You learn all points of view.

Hence, our aim is to provide you with the tools that will enable you to learn more objectively, to think more accurately and to act more effectively. Our final ambition is to enable you to flourish in a complex but exciting sector.

If this is what you are looking for, this Executive Program is right for you.

We think so and have designed it to be so. There are many “masters in sports law”, which usually include one economics subject or another. Some of these masters are excellent. But those that are worthwhile generally last one academic year and represent a considerable investment of time and money.

“Law, Economics and Geopolitics of Professional Sports: How to be successful, globally and locally” is a very high-quality, time and cost-effective alternative to the traditional approach: in 44 hours of curated online Lectures and 4 hours of Live Group Sessions, world-class lecturers and key players in the sector will highlight and summarize for you the essentials of their knowledge and expertise.

In addition, at the end of each module, they will provide you with a detailed list of the best readings and sources, which will enable you - if you wish - to delve deeper into a particular aspect of the subject.

In short, in 48 hours of curated, dense and practical Masterclasses, you will acquire a comprehensive and effective knowledge of law, economics and geopolitics applied to professional sport. At the highest level. Faster.
