As the IACL World Congress coincides with the FIFA World Cup, football is likely to be a topic of discussion for many among the participants at this international forum of scholars and practitioners of constitutional law. In this workshop, we will discuss football as a setting and topic of constitutional law scholarship.

We invite papers on all topics related to football and fundamental rights. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Gender equality in football
  • The fight against racism and homophobia in football
  • Procedural rights before sports tribunals in relation to football
  • Human rights risks related to the building of football infrastructure
  • Human rights risks related to the policing of football games
  • Human trafficking in football
  • Labour rights in football
  • Children’s rights in football
  • Football and the rights of persons with disabilities
  • Corruption-related human rights risks in football
