O REI has been designed to be a different place, a better experience for those who are truly passionate about law and sports.

For us, the founders of O REI, there are two pillars of success for an academic programme: the students and the lecturers.

With this in mind, and a result of valuable conversations with sports law students and lecturers over the years, we are convinced we can significantly elevate the standards of today and offer an incomparable educational journey for students all over the world.

We would like to emphasize that the project’s primary objective is not profit. Both students and lecturers, considered an essential part of the programme’s success, deserve nothing less than a deferential treatment and that is what we are all about.

At O REI, we thrive off presenting an enhanced and personalised teaching methodology, which surpasses the traditional lecturer-and-presentation formula. Equally, we believe in the coherence of the structure of our programme which, unlike other cases, is not simply made according to the availability of the lecturers.

For all these reasons, we have developed a revolutionary private International Sports Law Master’s, the first edition of which will begin in September 2024.

For O REI, the appeal of the project lies in enabling an innovative journey between the most reputed professionals and truly committed students of today who will become the leaders of tomorrow.

O REI SPORTS LAW INSTITUTE is not eager to grow up and have more students than other institutions. We have designed a premium programme targeted to a select number of students per edition. O REI offers the sports law experience that we, as renowned professionals, would like to have had as students.

It will be everything that we want to do as a sports law institute, accompanied by the most relevant lawyers on the international scene: CAS arbitrators and mediators, General Secretaries of Federations, Heads of Legal, Compliance and Integrity Officers, Governance Services Experts, Investigators, Career Building Specialists and more.

The institution is called O REI SPORTS LAW INSTITUTE, as a general reference to sports and law and in particular to the football star who, for us, embodies many of the values that will be a flag for our institution. Leadership and ethics, not just as a mere label but as a philosophy that is essentially projected towards both professors and students.
