🏆 The Final Eight are confirmed for SLAM 2026.
It started with 77 teams from over 30 countries submitting written pleadings on a complex anti-doping dispute, then arguing before expert advocates in the oral qualification rounds. 16 teams progressed to the Regional Oral Finals, arguing before panels of CAS arbitrators.
Now, 8 teams make the journey to Lausanne.
On 23–24 April, they will compete in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and Grand Final at the Court of Arbitration for Sport — the same hearing rooms where landmark sports law disputes are decided every day.
The Grand Final takes place alongside the 2nd Edition of our International Dispute Resolution in Sport Conference — bringing together leading practitioners, arbitrators, and sports executives for a full day of panels and discussion on the most pressing issues in sports dispute resolution.

Congratulations to all eight teams. And thank you to every judge, coordinator, and participant who made this edition possible — the standard this year has been exceptional.

Se fundó como Tenochtitlan sobre una isla en el Lago de Texcoco, desarrollaron una ingeniería avanzada con chinampas (islas artificiales) para agricultura y diques para separar aguas dulces y saladas. Tras la conquista, el lago fue drenado. Hoy se hunde entre 10 y 30 centímetros por año.

We are deeply grateful to Ricardo De Buen, a distinguished international sports Lawyer and CAS Arbitrator, for his invaluable contributions to FLAM 2025.
He delivered an insightful session on Examining the Jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Breach of Contract Claims, offering participants a clear and practical understanding of one of the most critical areas of international sports dispute resolution. His analysis was both rigorous and accessible, bridging doctrine with real-world application.
In addition, Ricardo served as the Head of the Mediation Panel, where his leadership, experience, and measured approach ensured a high standard of engagement and professionalism throughout the mediation proceedings.
He also contributed as a member of the Arbitration Panel, bringing depth, balance, and judicial precision to the evaluation process. His involvement across multiple stages of the competition greatly enriched the learning experience for all participants.
We sincerely appreciate his time, expertise, and commitment to advancing sports law education. His contributions reflect a meaningful investment in the development of the next generation of sports lawyers and the continued growth of Sports Law in Africa.
