This paper critically explores the implications of the CJEU judgment in RFC Seraing v. FIFA, an original judicial precedent reconfiguring the relationship between arbitral autonomy and the primacy of EU constitutional law. By imposing on national courts the investigation into arbitral awards for consistency with fundamental Charter rights, the judgment flouts the long assumptions about arbitral finality particularly when translated into the arena of sports governance.

Abstract
This paper critically explores the implications of the CJEU judgment in RFC Seraing v. FIFA, an original judicial precedent reconfiguring the relationship between arbitral autonomy and the primacy of EU constitutional law. By imposing on national courts the investigation into arbitral awards for consistency with fundamental Charter rights, the judgment flouts the long assumptions about arbitral finality particularly when translated into the arena of sports governance.
