The Sports Arbitration Moot Award Competition is an extension of the Sports Arbitration Moot, an international academic competition focusing on contemporary legal issues arising in the field of sports arbitration. The 2026 edition of the Sports Arbitration Moot was held in Madrid, Spain, in May 2026, and witnessed participation from 76 teams representing universities from across the world. The competition provided participating students with an opportunity to engage with complex questions of sports law and arbitration in a simulated professional setting.
The moot proposition for the competition this year centred on the highly contemporary and significant issue of match-fixing in a football match. The legal issues arising from the dispute were argued before a simulated Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), requiring participants to examine the intersection of sports regulations, arbitration principles, disciplinary proceedings, and the integrity of sporting competitions.
The HNLU team demonstrated strong legal research, analytical ability, written advocacy, and oral advocacy throughout the competition. Their performance reflected not only their substantive understanding of sports arbitration but also their ability to engage with complex factual and legal questions in a manner consistent with international standards of advocacy.
Congratulating the team on this achievement, Prof. (Dr.) V.C. Vivekanandan, Vice-Chancellor, HNLU, stated:
Discover the latest legal jobs and career openings.
“The achievement adds to HNLU’s growing record of excellence in national and international moot court competitions and reflects the University’s continued emphasis on experiential legal education, advocacy skills, and emerging areas of legal practice.”
Hidayatullah National Law University extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mahi Agrawal, Siya Gupta, Ambati Nupur Rao, and Atharv Sharma on this remarkable accomplishment and wishes them continued success in their academic and professional pursuits.
