Judicial intervention into internal sports disputes in China is legitimate, necessary and limited. for internal sports dispute resolution in China, we should stick to the principle of combining sports autonomy with judicial intervention, establish sports dispute as a new independent cause of action, adhere to the principle of proce-dure review, and embody the balance between judicial intervention and sports autonomy.
