Dispute Resolution, Late Salaries, Legal Protection, Football PlayersAbstract
Cases of late payment of salaries by football clubs to professional football players often raise confusion regarding the legal forum that should be chosen, namely whether the dispute should be resolved through labor law or FIFA regulations. This study aims to formulate a dual-track model for resolving wage payment disputes through the perspective of national labor law and FIFA regulations. The method used is a normative legal approach combining the statute approach and case approach. This study’s innovation offers a dual-track dispute resolution model for football players’ wages, combining national mechanisms (labor law and Resolution of Industrial Relations) and international mechanisms (FIFA regulations and DRC). The research findings indicate that dispute resolution through Resolution of Industrial Relations tends to be slow, while FIFA's DRC is faster but less accessible for local players. Its contribution lies in providing a more comprehensive legal framework to protect the rights of professional players, clarifying the boundaries of authority between national dispute resolution institutions and FIFA’s dispute resolution bodies, and offering recommendations for regulatory harmonization to achieve legal certainty, effective dispute resolution, and optimal protection for all parties in the professional soccer industry.
