History of the Romanian Court of Sports Arbitration

Tribunalul Roman de Arbitraj Sportiv

Established in March 2023, the Romanian Court of Sports Arbitration (T.R.A.S.) is an entity independent of any sports organization whose purpose is to resolve sports-related disputes through arbitration or mediation according to procedural rules adapted to the specific needs of sports law.

The Romanian Court of Sports Arbitration is a form of institutionalized arbitration, as regulated by Law no. 134/2010, Romanian Civil Procedure Code, in Title VII of Book IV "About Arbitration", which operates on the basis of its own regulation, applicable in the case of all disputes submitted for resolution by the Romanian Court of Sports Arbitration, according to the arbitration agreement.

The Romanian Sports Arbitration Court is placed under the administrative and financial authority of the Romanian Sports Arbitration Association (A.S.A.A.). In regulating and conducting arbitration activity, the Romanian Sports Arbitration Court is autonomous in relation to the institution that established it, namely the Romanian Association of Sports Arbitration.

The activity of the institutionalized arbitration within the Romanian Court of Sports Arbitration is not economic in nature and does not seek to obtain profit.
