The Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) has recently made a significant ruling regarding the Royal Belgian Ice Hockey Federation (RBIHF). The BCA rejected a request for interim measures that sought to challenge the RBIHF's decision to cease all activities related to inline hockey.

This decision comes in the context of ongoing discussions about the governance and management of sports federations in Belgium. The RBIHF's move to stop inline hockey activities has raised concerns among stakeholders, prompting the request for intervention from the competition authority.

The BCA's ruling indicates that it found insufficient grounds to impose interim measures at this time. This decision reflects the authority's approach to balancing competition law with the operational decisions of sports organizations.
