FIFA: publication of the "Guide to Submitting claims before the Football Tribunal"

FIFA has published its "Guide to Submitting claims before the Football Tribunal", which provides "a detailed and comprehensive overview on the processes and documents that the parties should consider when lodging a claim before the Football Tribunal, as well as information on the use of the FIFA Legal Portal, which has been mandatory since 01/05/2023," on 10/07/2023 (document available to download).

The Football Tribunal has been operating since 01/10/2021. Its creation "is part of FIFA’s comprehensive modernisation of the regulatory framework. The Tribunal is composed of the Dispute Resolution Chamber, the Players’ Status Chamber and the Agents Chamber," said the body.

"The Football Tribunal consolidates the previous FIFA decision-making bodies under a single umbrella body and it further facilitates the resolution of disputes involving stakeholders from across the football industry, such as member associations, clubs, players and coaches, as well as processing regulatory applications that are fundamental to the football family," added FIFA.
