National and European courts - in particular the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights - may force sports arbitration to reform, but they cannot replace it! While some are already bidding farewell to sports arbitration as we know it after the recent court decisions in Pechstein, Semenya, ISU and others or the pending Seraing case, there are good reasons why sport disputes – including those based on competition law, fundamental and human rights – should get resolved through arbitration, provided that the arbitral proceeding fulfills required standards under the rule of law (eg. in terms of independence and transparency). If you are interested to find out what further insights can be derived from those and other cases, you should join the newest edition of the course on „Dispute Resolution in National and International Sport” held at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a. Main in cooperation with DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga. In eight sessions, the course provides a comprehensive overview of the most common dispute resolution methods in sport. It also addresses crucial aspects of the governance of sports organizations as well as substantive issues of sports law. The individual sessions are led by recognized sports law experts Annett Rombach, Antonida Netzer, Olga Hamama, Alice Williams, Nicolas Klein, Dr. Vito Esposito, Niklas Fuchs, David Menz and myself, who all have extensive practical experience in dealing with national and international sports disputes. Lectures will include sessions on the judicial bodies of UEFA, FIFA and DFB as well as on the Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V. (DIS) German Arbitration Institute, the TAS/CAS Tribunal Arbitral du Sport / Court of Arbitration for Sport / Tribunal Arbitral del Deporte and the Basketball Arbitral Tribunal (#BAT). One lecture per week starting on 22 October 2024, held on-site and online every Tuesday in the early evening hours, for 30 participants. The upcoming edition of the course will be held in German.

The interplay between sports and #antitrust law is a complex issue that oscillates between preserving the spirit of fair play and protecting against market power. In the winter of 2023, the #ECJ issued three landmark rulings, SuperLeague (C-333/21), ISU (C-124/21 P) and Royal Antwerp (C-680/21), on the application of antitrust law to questions of sports governance. These rulings, in particular SuperLeague, have far-reaching implications for European sports federations, athletes, clubs, fans and other stakeholders. These will be examined in Hanno Wollmann and Maha Zöhrer's latest article for the #ÖBl by MANZ Verlag. Read it here in German: https://lnkd.in/dyY5sP35  #antitrustlaw #EuGH #superleague

Together with my colleague Philine Wassenaar, we wrote the chapter on Landmark EU competition cases in sports for Jus Mundi's International Sports Law and Arbitration Wiki Notes (edited by Rusa Agafonova of the University of Zurich). Competition law is a key factor in many aspects of sports law and disputes, including the organisation of leagues and competitions, the sale of broadcasting rights, and arrangements affecting professional players' (and their agents') rights. Many associations and clubs are taking note, and rightly so. https://lnkd.in/etJyJzF2 #competitionlaw #sportslaw

Stijn Huijts and I wrote a chapter on the landmark competition law cases in sports for Jus Mundi. It goes without saying that the topic of sports and competition law has been a hot topic the past few years. This chapter aims to provide a concise summary for anyone wanting to delve deeper into the way in which the European courts have further defined the regulating powers that sporting federations have within many aspects of their respective sports, including the organisation of (competing) leagues and broadcasting rights. https://lnkd.in/etJyJzF2 #competitionlaw #sportslaw
