Asser Sports Law Lunch & Learn: The Swiss Court decision affecting the Matuzalem case

 Kick-off of the Asser International Sports Law Centre Lunch&Learn Series

On March 27, 2012, the Swiss Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in favour of Brazilian football player Matuzalem. The decision set aside an arbitral award of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), finding that the threat of a playing ban by FIFA against Matuzalem was contrary to public policy.
