The Federal Statute “On Physical Culture and Sports in the Russian Federation” 04.12.2007 No. 329-FZ provides for the right of all-Russian sports federations to establish jurisdictional bodies for the pre-trial resolution (settlement) of disputes in high-performance sports and professional sports. One of the categories of such disputes is individual labor disputes between athletes and coaches, from the one hand, and clubs, national federations, from the other hand. The International Football Federation (FIFA) is one of the few international sports associations that have established norms on the specifics of regulating the work of professional football players and coaches. This is also why FIFA does not transfer any dispute between football entities in connection with the application of its regulations to state courts and obliges its members, the national football federations, to introduce a similar rule. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has limited itself to developing a non-exhaustive list of essential terms of employment contracts between players and clubs. However, FIBA also obliges basketball players not to sue disputes arising between them regarding the implementation of regulatory norms to state courts. The Russian Football Union (RFU) and the Russian Basketball Federation (RFB) have implemented these norms into their acts. This brief review examines the rules of FIFA and the RFU, FIBA and the RFB on the jurisdiction of bodies for the mandatory pre-trial settlement of individual labor disputes and the appropriate range of subjects of such disputes.
