This paper aims to examine the legal framework and principles governing the Statutes of the Iranian Football Federation
[FFIRI (The acronyms FFIRI and IRIFF have been interchangeably employed in various correspondences involving the
AFC and FIFA). The FFIRI Statutes, which defnes and explains the legal structure of the organization, is central to the
establishment of judicial principles governing the football organization. It serves as the ofcial framework for establishing
substantive legal principles, and as such, is subject to challenges. The challenges surrounding the FFIRI Statutes are primarily concentrated around three main areas: sports-related laws, legal structure defnitions in the Statutes, and the jurisdiction
of judicial bodies within the Football Federation. In this article, a comparative analysis of the latest version of the FFIRI
Statutes with its previous version is presented to assess the resulting improvements and shortcomings, as well as identify
any remaining unaddressed issues, both in terms of form and substance.
