The FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the preparation to Olympic Games in the KSA, the ATP Tour and World Judo Championships, Formula 1, swimming, triathlon, etc., in the UAE as well as sport sponsorships and athletes’ contracts and arrangements, have triggered a growing interest in sports law and, as a consequence, in sports arbitration in the ME.
The first and most prominent sports arbitration institution is the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The CAS, initially derived from the International Olympic Committee, has gained its independence and legitimacy and has become the most recognized arbitration institution in sports.
Three CAS-approved lawyers and arbitrators are proud to present the most topical aspects and issues in the international sports arbitration.
