We use international diffusion, deinstitutionalization, and power theory to explain the diffusion and ban of the third-party ownership (TPO) practice in the soccer industry. We use an inductive case study combining archival and interview data to identify the mechanisms that lead to the diffusion, but also to the contestation and deinstitutionalization of TPO. The results suggest that the practice evolution can be explained as a process of layered escalation. Regardless of the economic benefits for the stakeholders that supported the diffusion of the practice, their nested position restricts their access and influence to the dominant stakeholders on the later stages, explaining the deinstitutionalization of an internationally diffused practice.
