Abstract
The aim of this study was to: 1) study sport dispute resolutions arising from laws governing sport in Thailand, implementation of sport arbitration in foreign countries, and a guideline to establish sports arbitration, including objectives, form, structure, functions, and disadvantages that may arise from sports arbitration; and 2) recommend the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) revise the governing laws to adopt sports arbitration as a special mechanism for sport dispute resolution. The study used a qualitative approach with documentary research and in-depth interviews with members of the sport authority and professional sport associations: the SAT's six executive members and five department heads, nine representatives of professional sport associations in Thailand, and 52 sport community participants. The results showed the representatives and participants agreed with the establishment of sports arbitration because it will be able to resolve the disputes appropriately because they are based on sports technical problems and sports event schedules. Consequently, the resolution requires sports specialists and a speedy trial. In the end, the study recommended SAT revise the Sports Authority of Thailand Act 2015, the Professional Sports Promotion Act 2013, and the Boxing Act 1999 to adopt sports arbitration for implementing the sport disputes resolution policy according to SAT’s Sport Strategic Development Plan of 2021–2027.
