Analysis of The Legal and Procedural Framework of Arbitration in Sports Disputes in Uae Law: A Comparative Study with Egyptian and French Law

This study aims to analyze the legal and procedural framework for arbitration in sports disputes in UAE law and compare it with Egyptian and French laws. This was done through a comparison between the provisions of sports legislation in the Emirates, specifically Federal Law No. 16 of 2016, which relates to the establishment of the Emirates Center for Sports Arbitration and its procedural rules, and the provisions of sports laws in Egypt and France. In this study, concepts related to sports arbitration were presented, and the role of specialized centers in sports arbitration was emphasized, such as the Emirates Sports Arbitration Center in the Emirates, the Egyptian Center for Sports Settlement and Arbitration in Egypt, and the Sports Arbitration Chamber in France. This is in addition to highlighting the procedures that must be followed in the sports arbitration process and the importance of adhering to them to ensure the validity and legitimacy of the arbitration process. Arbitration procedures in sports disputes were discussed and analyzed in accordance with UAE and comparative legislation in Egypt and France. In conclusion, it was found that the Emirati legislator and the Egyptian and French legislators determined arbitration procedures in contractual disputes, starting from the formation of arbitration bodies until the issuance of the final ruling. The need to determine the laws applicable to arbitration procedures was emphasized, whether by agreement between the parties or in accordance with the sports regulations in force in the country.
