Riassunto analitico
The purpose of this project work is to analyse and explore the relationship between the European Union law and the sports law, a subject which is becoming increasingly important for its fundamental role, both in an economic point of view and in a social context.
The sport subject disciplined by the European legal system, which included firstly the regulations of the Community, and subsequently, the birth of the Union and the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, has always received a low level of attention by the institutions, at least until the second half of the Nineties. Indeed, afterwards the delivery of the Bosman judgment, such topic started to assume more and more significance, also due to the extraordinary effects brought by the above-mentioned ruling.
Bosman was a Belgian professional footballer and, for this reason, I will focus my study mainly on the sports professional athletes, and their rights and their duties towards the European institutions and the national associations of the various sectors.
In fact, it is obvious to notice that the dimension achieved by sports phenomena in their social and economic frameworks has embroiled the legal field that, especially in recent years, experimented loads of researches, studies and insights.
However, to achieve the aim of our report, it is important to consider sports law as a separate branch, detached from other disciplines of the legal system.
As a matter of fact, it is not complicated to notice that the expression “sports law” does not exist.
Indeed, facing such topic, it would be more appropriate to talk about the private law of the sports activities, the labour law of the sports athletes, the criminal law of the sports sortings and so on. For these reasons, the structure of the project work is divided into three chapters which investigate the evolution of the processes and the development of the discipline.
