Our proposal for a European Sports Act!
Sport needs reforming and the EU, so we believe, can effect positive change. We propose EU rules on good governance, social responsibility, human rights, plus better safeguards for athletes and fans.
A short thread breaking down the key elements.

Check out my blog @verfassungsblog.de engaging with AG Ćapeta's Opinion in the #Seraing case & its implications for the #CAS.

AG Ćapeta in the Seraing case would deprive CAS arbitration awards of their res judicata.
ANTOINE DUVAL proposes a less disruptive approach, conditioning the award on their compliance with European public policy and fundamental due process rights:

FIFA president (2023 pay circa $4.5m) asks for free workers (volunteers) to sign up for the $2 billion Club World Cup that will pay millions in prize money to professional footballers. Typically volunteers lose money (travel/accommodation) to do this.
