Parties of a sport contract need to architect and agree on method(s) of sport dispute resolution, to realize this aim, the parties need to conclude an arbitration agreement.  The article II of the New York Convention (1958) rules obligation of the contracting States to recognize and enforce arbitration agreements. An arbitration agreement may be concluded as a separate agreement or a clause to a contract related to sport, before or after arising a sport dispute.  There are four types of arbitration agreements and courts have relatio perfecta and relatio imperfecta approach to them.  The majority of domestic and international laws, rule the arbitration agreement to identify a “defined legal relationship”.  Therefore, parties by applying to an arbitration court according to an arbitration agreement cause two effects which they have “positive” or “negative” doctrines.
