Our Association is international
Sports is by definition universal, hence so should be the law that governs it.
Football is played worldwide
Through passion and practice, it has built a real social network at both local and international levels. Following the example of famous international football competitions, AIAF aims to create a link between various legal cultures, in a spirit of exchange and sharing.
The independence of lawyers and their professional ethics must serve football in its social dimension.
We value law as much as sport and we think that our ethics as independent lawyers can contribute to the development of football all the while enhancing the respect of fundamental rights.
The Signet Library
Your venue to the 13th AIAF Congress.
The Signet Library, located in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, is one of the city’s most elegant and distinguished venues. Home to the Society of Writers to His Majesty’s Signet, one of Scotland’s oldest professional bodies of lawyers, the library dates back to the early 19th century and reflects the greatness of Georgian architecture.
Its magnificent Upper Library is particularly striking, with soaring ceilings, classical columns, and long rows of books that create a refined and timeless atmosphere. Overlooking the Royal Mile and just moments from St Giles’ Cathedral, the Signet Library combines historical prestige with exceptional beauty, making it a remarkable setting in one of Edinburgh’s most iconic locations.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city where history and culture meet dramatic natural landscapes. Dominated by the iconic Edinburgh Castle perched atop an ancient volcanic rock, the city blends medieval charm with elegant Georgian architecture.

Renowned for its festivals, world-class museums, and welcoming spirit, Edinburgh offers visitors a rich cultural experience alongside breathtaking views, from the Royal Mile to the summit of Arthur’s Seat. Whether exploring centuries of history or enjoying its dynamic modern scene, Edinburgh leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
