At its session of 6 November 2020, the FIBA Central Board approved the establishment of the Dr Dirk-Reiner Martens Award.
The Award will be presented every two years to an individual who has made a significant academic contribution in the area of basketball-related legal matters and/or the resolution of international sports disputes. The award reflects Dr Martens’ commitment to constantly improve the sports regulatory framework and to support young sports lawyers.
Almost coinciding with the first anniversary of his sudden passing, the creation of this Award is a wonderful recognition of Dr Martens’ legacy in the areas of sports law and dispute resolution. Martens Rechtsanwälte extends its heartfelt gratitude to FIBA.
