This book addresses the most important judicial aspects in relation to the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), as well as the different categories of disputes, inter alia, the termination of player contracts, the amount of compensation, sporting sanctions, training compensation and the solidarity mechanism. The DRC was established in 2001 by FIFA for the purpose of resolving disputes regarding the international status and transfer of players. Since then the DRC has developed into a major and influential alternative resolution body, with an impressive and everincreasing caseload. In this updated and revised Second Edition the most important decisions of the DRC as of the date of its establishment in 2001 until 2016 are analysed. It is a reference work for those with a legal and financial interest in professional football, such as lawyers, agents, managers and administrators, but is also aimed at researchers and academics. Michele Bernasconi, Attorney-at-law in Zurich, Switzerland, Arbitrator at CAS and President of the Swiss Sports Law Association provided a foreword for the book.

Frans M. de Weger is senior legal counsel working for the Dutch Federation of Professional Football Clubs (FBO). In 2015 he was, at the proposal of the European Club Association (ECA), appointed as an arbitrator for the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). As a legal counsel and a CAS arbitrator he is involved in several national and international football-related legal disputes.

This book appears in the ASSER International Sports Law Series, under the editorship of Prof. Dr. Ben Van Rompuy and Dr. Antoine Duval.

"Frans de Weger's work on the jurisprudence of the DRC is a "must-have" for anybody dealing with sports law and, in particular, dealing with football issues under the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players."

Massimo Coccia

Professor of International Law and Attorney-at-Law in Rome and CAS Arbitrator

Mr. Frans M. de Weger (1978) is senior legal counsel and in this regard working for the Dutch Employer's Organisation for Professional Football Clubs ("FBO"), which is an associate member of the European Professional Football Leagues ("EPFL"), since 2010.

As a legal counsel and a CAS arbitrator he is involved in several national and international football related legal disputes.

As a legal counsel of the FBO, Frans de Weger regularly acts as a legal representative on behalf of the Dutch professional football clubs in national and international legal disputes. In this respect, he gained a wide experience with legal procedures before the national arbitrational court of the Royal Netherlands Football Association ("KNVB"), the disciplinary courts of the KNVB and FIFA,the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber ("DRC") and the Players' Status Committee ("PSC") and in appeal before the CAS. In his capacity as a legal representative, he is, on a yearly base, responsible for the settlement and treatment of minimum 40-50 cases before the mentioned courts. Further to this, De Weger provides the Dutch football clubs with legal advise regarding among other (national and international) employment related matters, players' contracts, national and international transfers and with respect to matters related to training compensation and solidarity mechanism.

In this book he discussed the most relevant procedural aspects, such as the jurisdiction of the DRC, its composition, applicable law, the procedural costs, the manner of enforcement of the DRC decisions and the appeal procedure before the CAS. In his book De Weger analysed all published DRC decisions and classified the decisions into various subjects and discussed the well-established jurisprudence of the DRC, such as the existence of various types of just causes, the unilateral extension option, the compensation to be paid in conformity with Article 17 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, the imposition of sporting sanctions and disputes related to training compensation and solidarity mechanism. Currently he is working on the second edition of this book, to be published in August 2016, which edition contains all relevant decisions of the DRC (and the CAS) until 2015.

The database contains extracts of all published DRC decisions and also commentaries on the relevant ones. Several professional football clubs, scientists, lawyers and law firms, CAS and FIFA arbitrators, players' agents, football organizations, such as national associations, employee and employer organizations, on a worldwide scale, are registered member and make use of DRC Database.
