Qatar’s Dana bint Mohamed al-Nuaimi has been named as a member of the FIFA Football Tribunal for a four-year term. Dana is currently the Executive Director of Legal Affairs at the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy.
Dana will be part of the Dispute Resolution Chamber at the FIFA Football Tribunal, which will decide employment-related disputes between players and clubs as well as disputes related to training rewards.
Dana’s elevation to a FIFA post once again highlights Qatari officials’ presence in the higher echelons of global sports bodies. It is also culmination of the studied plans and policies for graduating sports cadres at the highest levels in various disciplines.
The FIFA Football Tribunal consolidates the existing FIFA decision-making bodies into a single umbrella body and further facilitates the resolution of disputes and decisions on regulatory applications within the football regulatory framework. It will streamline the existing processes, consolidate and clearly stipulate all governance elements, and deliver a more efficient decision-making system.
It is anticipated that the Dispute Resolution Chamber will decide approximately 3,500 disputes per year, while the Players’ Status Chamber will rule on approximately 700 disputes and 6,000 regulatory applications on an annual basis.
In recent years, FIFA has made major headway towards the modernisation of the football regulatory framework, with the FIFA Council endorsing three reform packages since 2017. Further details on the FIFA Football Tribunal are available at legal.fifa.com.
