Position of the European Union towards Sports Arbitration and Justice
The European Dispute Resolution Society is pleased to invite you to its next event on the “Position of the European Union towards Sports Arbitration and Justice”.
The European Court of Justice has rendered recently a number of decisions related to sports arbitration and procedural justice, i.a. the decision of 1 August 2025 in Case C-600/23, RFC Seraing vs. FIFA, UEFA and URBSFA, interested party: Doyen Sports Investment Ltd.
As the interaction between established mechanisms to resolve sports disputes and the legal order of the European Union has become increasingly significant, the European Dispute Resolution Society brings together leading practitioners and academics and officers of European institutions to examine how the European Union positions itself towards the evolving field of the resolution of disputes in sports.
