site.btaBulgarian Chess Federation 2022 to Appeal Arbitration Ruling

The Bulgarian Chess Federation 2022 (BCF 2022) will appeal a decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) before a federal court in Switzerland. The Court did not admit for consideration a complaint by BCF 2022 due to procedural reasons but confirmed that the application by BCF 2022 for membership of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) had not been considered according to the required high standards and that the omission to discuss the application by FIDE General Assembly violated the right of the organization to appeal the dismissal of its candidacy.
