| dc.description.abstract | A bstract-This paper interrogates the viability of the concepts of Lex Sportiva and sports law as legal realities founding the existence of FIFA and CAS. It then proceeds to engage the tension created between FIFA's exclusive arbitration clause rule operative on its members and the sovereignty of the state's judicial power as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution to resolve all disputes within the country's territory without exemption. Finally, the tension is resolved through careful analysis of the theory of the private mode of governance and the capacity of the state constitution to allow for the accommodation of such governance practice. | |
