The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has a vast scope of competencies, which obviously comprises the sanctioning infringements that occur within the frame of a competition or a match under the jurisdiction of FIFA. As per the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC), the FIFA Disciplinary Committee is also competent to sanction inter alia any kind of discrimination, forgery, doping offenses, match manipulation and any breach that would fall under its competence in virtue of another FIFA Regulation.[1]
However, the present article will only focus on one of the duties of the Disciplinary Committee, namely its competence to impose sanctions on stakeholders who failed to comply with a final and binding decision of a FIFA deciding body. Actually, the authors decided, after briefly presenting the system, to focus on cases in which the debtor is a natural person.
