In the wake of the excitement (fatigue for some!) from the Paris Olympics, my team and I explore Hong Kong's potential to be a leading sports dispute resolution hub in the APAC region.
Hong Kong is developing its own sports arbitration mechanism, potentially by establishing: its own centre (perhaps modelled after Switzerland’s Court of Arbitration for Sport); a Hong Kong branch of the China Commission of Arbitration for Sport; or a mechanism with existing institutions such as the HKIAC.
Hong Kong has a unique edge over its APAC counterparts, as it is one of the most preferred seats for international arbitration; has an established common law framework; and has a range of reciprocal arrangements in arbitration with Mainland China. There is therefore no reason why the world city of Asia could not evolve to take on a leading role in sports arbitration. Rome wasn’t built in a day, as the saying goes, and with the Asian Games 2026 fast approaching, now is the time to expedite this evolution.
With a wealth of sports-related disputes experience in Europe and the APAC region, Charles Russell Speechlys is here to support our clients to navigate complexities on this journey.
Please reach out to me and my team Patrick Chan, Benoît Pasquier, LL.M., Ed Craig, Able A. if you have any questions.

In the wake of doping controversies from the Tokyo Olympic Games, a new dispute has arisen at the Paris Games. Italy’s Olympic Committee (CONI) has filed a complaint regarding the decision in the gold medal match in which Hong Kong foilist Cheung Ka-long triumphed over Italy's Filippo Macchi. The president of CONI has publicly expressed strong dissatisfaction with the referees' decision, sparking debate due to the referees' origins from South Korea and Chinese Taipei - regions in proximity to Hong Kong.
This situation prompts an important question: if a similar incident were to occur in a competition based in Hong Kong or the APAC region, what effective mechanisms would be in place to ensure a fair resolution of the dispute? In this article, Patrick Chan, Clement Chui and Able Au explore ways forward in driving the initiative for a dedicated sports arbitration system in Hong Kong to serve the needs in the APAC region.
