Nike fined by EU for restrictions on football merchandise sales

Nike has been fined by the European Commission for restricting the cross-border sale of goods carrying the logos of some of Europe’s top football clubs.

The €12.5m (£10.7m) fine concerns merchandise such as mugs, bed sheets and stationery, which carries the brand of the club, but not Nike’s trademark.

Manchester United and Barcelona goods were among those affected.

The commission found Nike restricted firms who made and sold the products from selling them across borders.
