The Sports Law Centre at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis is organising a briefing on 16 January in Nice about the ‘specificity of sport’. The aim of this briefing is to analyse the notion of specificity of sports in order to justify a particular legal treatment of sports activities.

Speakers include Frédéric Thiriez, President of the Ligue de Football Professionnel; Patrick Baumann, Secretary General of the international basketball federation (FIBA); Jérôme Champagne, FIFA’s Director of International Relations; Jonathan Hill, UEFA’s Director of European Affairs. Delegates include: FIFA, UEFA, FIBA, the French Basket-Ball Federation, law firms and more.
