    Staying on the Red Bull theme, is UEFA not uncomfortable with the possibility of 2 clubs owned by Red Bull playing against
    each other in a European tournament ?

    From the article in the op, it would seem so.


    'Red Bull, who already own clubs in Austria and Germany, want to be clear on how involved they can be with a third without breaching UEFA regulations.'

    Some worrying stuff about Red Bull twisting the German rules to get their name on everything.

    Apparently their rules are very similar to ours.

    "Wikipedia wrote:The German Football Association (DFB) did not permit the corporate name Red Bull to be part of the team name.[2] In order to comply with these regulations, the club instead adopted the unusual name RasenBallsport Leipzig, literally meaning "Leipzig lawn ball sports". Through the use of the initials "RB" and key elements of the Red Bull corporate logo, the corporate identity was preserved in the team logo"
