The Continuing Education Unit at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women – University of Baghdad, under the patronage of the Dean, Prof. Dr. Fatima Abd Malih, and the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lamia Abdul Sattar, hosted a legal advisor and specialist in sports law, Mr. Saleh Najm Al-Maliki, to give a training course titled (Sports Conflict Resolution).
Mr. Al-Maliki discussed the concept of disputes as an integral part of the sports field, ranging from contractual disagreements between players and clubs to appeals against arbitration decisions or violations of sports regulations. He explained that resolving such disputes does not always require resorting to traditional courts, as alternative mechanisms like arbitration and mediation provide effective and specialized solutions tailored to the nature of the sports community.
He further emphasized the importance of sports conflict resolution in avoiding lengthy and costly legal procedures, preserving relationships between disputing parties, offering flexible solutions to sports disputes, and supporting stability within the sports sector.
The lecture also highlighted the main mechanisms of sports conflict resolution, which include sports arbitration, sports mediation, incorporating alternative dispute resolution clauses in sports contracts, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and the Iraqi Sports Settlement and Arbitration Center—reflecting the growing tendency to adopt practical solutions for resolving disputes within the sector.
At the conclusion of the course, the Assistant Dean for Scientific Affairs, Prof. Dr. Suhad Haseeb, presented certificates of appreciation to Mr. Al-Maliki and the participants in recognition of their efforts and valuable contributions, which enriched the course academically and enhanced knowledge related to sports contracts and professionalism.
It is worth noting that this course contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
