Sport is big business and it’s just getting bigger. And what happens nationally clearly
affects the industry on a European scale. The Lisbon Treaty raises questions on the application of EU free movement and competition law. The recent referrals from CAS
to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court have surprised the entire industry, whilst scandals
involving John Terry and Franck Ribery continue to give players the European headlines
in 2010 - for all the wrong reasons. Portsmouth FC are on the brink of collapse before
Uefa’s fi nancial regulation plan is implemented and streaming sports from the internet
is plunging European TV rights into uncertainty.
C5 is excited to introduce this special European Forum on Sports Law and Business.
If you are to compete successfully in today’s sporting arena, you must have a thorough
understanding of the wider issues surrounding the governance, regulation and commercial
exploitation of sport. This comprehensive and entertaining program will provide you with
