FOOTBALL LAW

Course Introduction

The Football Law course is an intensive four-week online programme consisting of seven interactive sessions and offered by the Academy of Leadership Sciences Switzerland.

The course provides a structured and practical introduction to the legal and regulatory framework of professional football. It is designed for lawyers, football agents, club and federation representatives, players, coaches, sports administrators, managers, compliance professionals, and anyone seeking to develop a stronger understanding of the rules governing the football industry.

Participants will explore the roles of key football governing bodies and examine important areas such as player contracts, national and international transfers, training compensation and solidarity contributions, the regulation of football agents, disciplinary matters, and dispute resolution before football tribunals and arbitration bodies.

Through practical examples and relevant cases, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how football regulations are applied in professional practice.
