About this site

Pitchside Docket is an independent publication launched in June 2026 by Jason Figueiredo. The beautiful game doesn't stop once the final whistle blows. The sport that we all love continues to churn behind close doors, where business, honest and nefarious, happens. When things go wayward, the legal system will usually become involved to ensure players, clubs, and leagues are all playing fairly. This publication is dedicated to finding the most interesting legal cases around the world that touch the global game.
