         Sports competitions have become one of the most important social and economic phenomena due to the income they generate for their organizers in the modern era. As the practice of sports activities in various games has become an arena for achieving different goals and objectives, it has become a source of livelihood and an investment of millions of dollars, which prompted the legislator to pay attention to organizing this aspect of sports activities and supporting them in order to achieve stable relations between their parties. Due to the development that has resulted in this field of sports activities and the entry of supporting companies, there are rights for athletes when practicing them, and these companies have become the sponsors in broadcasting matches from the media side, as well as raising or placing company logos carried by players. As competition between clubs has become in order to achieve advanced results in sports competitions, it has prompted these clubs to contract with players in various sports activities in order to achieve the desired results All this made sports competitions go from entertainment to investment that serves all parties, and this consequently led to the emergence of many disputes between clubs or sports institutions or players or technical trainers, and for this reason sports arbitration, including the Center for Settlement and Sports Arbitration in Iraq, is one of the reasons for their emergence, because the violations in sports fall within the jurisdiction of a body specialized in sports affairs, because these violations, whether financial or administrative, do not fall within the jurisdiction of ordinary courts.
