Parliament is considering plans to establish a court dedicated to resolving disputes in the sports sector, following a proposal put forward by MP Dr Ali Al Nuaimi.

The Legislative and Legal Affairs Committee is reviewing a draft law that would create a specialised division within the High Civil Court to handle cases involving athletes, clubs, and sports federations.

According to the accompanying memorandum, the court would offer a judicial venue with expertise in sports-related disputes, helping to build confidence in the fairness of proceedings.

The proposal comes as Bahrain begins enforcing its Sports Professionalism Law, with growing calls for legal clarity in the handling of such cases.

The division would deal with disputes based on applicable rules and laws, regardless of the size or standing of those involved.

The memorandum also suggests that the court would contribute to the standardisation of sports regulations at the national level, reinforcing procedural consistency and protecting the rights of all parties involved.
