Recent case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union has drawn renewed attention to the application of EU law to sports regulation. In the last couple of years, the Court has ruled on the effect of decisions of the Court of Arbitration for Sport under EU law (C-600/23 RFC Seraing SA v FIFA) and important aspects of the application of competition law and free movement of workers and services  (Case C-333/21 European Superleague Company, C650/22 Fédération internationale de football association (Diarra), C-124/21 International Skating Union,  C-680/21 Royal Antwerp Football Club). The webinar will bring together a stellar panel to discuss the implications of this case law not only for specific policy fields but also for the overall functioning of the internal market and the autonomy of the EU legal order.

Despite the UK’s departure from the EU, this is a critical time to discuss and reflect on EU law developments. We invite authors to submit posts on any issues related to EU law as well as European law more broadly, including the law of the ECHR. If you wish to contribute a blog post, please contact us by submitting a MS Word file of up to 1000 words, including a short indicative title, at ukaelblogs@gmail.com. We hope that the Blog will become a strong and accessible resource for EU law matters, attracting students, academics and practitioners and bringing new faces to UKAEL and its regular events. Please visit https://ukael.org/blog/ and subscribe.
