The case involves a dispute between Glasgow Rangers Football Club (Rangers) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) regarding Rangers' refusal to play a match in Daghestan due to security concerns. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was called upon to address the matter, particularly focusing on the club's request for provisional measures to prevent economic and sporting consequences. The jurisdiction of CAS was established under Article 59 of UEFA's statutes, which grants CAS exclusive authority over civil disputes with financial implications between UEFA and its members. Rangers argued that their refusal to play was justified by security warnings from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and reports of recent bomb attacks in Makhachkala, the match location. They also cited logistical challenges, including flight restrictions and high insurance costs. UEFA countered by presenting assurances from Russian and Daghestan authorities, who promised extensive security measures, including 2,500 police officers, to ensure safety. The Deputy President of the CAS Ordinary Arbitration Division acknowledged Rangers' security concerns but found the guarantees from UEFA and local authorities sufficient to dismiss the request for provisional measures. The decision emphasized UEFA's responsibility to maintain the integrity of its competitions and concluded that the conditions for irreparable harm or overriding interests were not met. The order was issued without costs, leaving the broader dispute to be resolved in subsequent proceedings. The case highlights the tension between sporting obligations and safety concerns, as well as the role of CAS in adjudicating such conflicts.
