Key legal question
Whether the arbitration clause in the transfer agreement validly excluded state अदालतs and submitted disputes to arbitration.
Extracted holding
Yes. The clause, read under the trust principle, showed a binding intent to submit disputes to a private sports dispute-settling body rather than state courts.
Extracted reasoning
The wording referred to competent FIFA or UEFA instances deciding disputes; despite not using technical arbitration terms, it clearly designated a non-state decision-maker and excluded ordinary courts.
