1. Under Swiss law, a party has standing to be sued and may thus be summoned before the CAS only if it has some stake in the dispute because something is sought against it. The FIFA disciplinary proceedings are primarily meant to protect an essential interest of FIFA, i.e. full compliance with the decisions rendered by its bodies. Indeed, the appeals against the decisions of the disciplinary bodies regard only the existence of a disciplinary infringement under FIFA rules, the power of FIFA to impose sanctions and the appropriateness and proportionality of such FIFA sanctions. Therefore, as the appellant(s) is/are seeking something only against FIFA and the relief requested affects FIFA only, only FIFA has standing to be sued in such appeals brought before CAS.
