ITTI Sports Institute
Daniel Cravo
Academic Director at ITTI
In light of its partnership with ITTI Sports Institute, AIAF has launched an exciting collaboration: Master in Football Law.
Introducing this classroom with professionals from the most important institutions and law firms specialized in football law is a door opener for unique professional opportunities.
The program was designed by our members and ITTI Sports Institute academic directors, Daniel Cravo and Andrea Bozza, and was developed in conjunction with lawyers and authorities of great renown and prestige within the sports sector.
The Master envisages to ensure that students learn and experience recurrent – legal, strategic and decisional – issues of the football industry.
Within the context of the lectures, students will be presented with some of the most common issues in the football industry.
In particular, they will be asked to deal with – and handle – specific situations, by applying their skills, evaluating the nuances of football business in light of their own learning, and suggesting alternatives for the resolution of the cases at hand.
At the end of the Master, ideally, thanks to the enhanced ability to recognize the specificities and peculiarities of the football legal environment, students shall be able to address – and place into the right context – some of the most frequent issues related to football business, as well as to choose and apply the formal and substantive arguments most pertinent to each concrete situation that arises.
Students can benefit from an exclusive discount if they are
recommended by an AIAF member. Check the terms of this discount here.
