In its judgment of the Grand Chamber in the Royal Football Club Seraing case C-600/23 (ECLI:EU:C:2025:24), the Court of Justice of the European Union (the “CJEU”) has set an important precedent for international sports arbitration by establishing that awards of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (the “CAS”) may be subject to review by the courts of Member States to verify that they are compatible with the public policy of the Union.
