Abstract

The CAS was created 1984 as an arbitral jurisdiction for sports disputes and as a specialized authority for settling international disputes. Through the years, the CAS has been established as a true court of arbitration and an independent tribunal. Its global magnitude and its acceptance by almost all International Federations has led to the CAS being perceived as a “supreme court” for sports disputes, as the centralised tribunal best adapted to resolve disputes of international character. In the latest years, however, CAS has registered a large number of purely national disputes, particularly from the world of football. Even if there is nothing formally preventing these disputes from coming to the CAS, it is doubtful whether CAS is always the right venue for such disputes, not least for some practical difficulties that are explained in the paper.
