Abstract:
Sports were always considered to perform a State function amongst other functions. When sports authorities were emancipated from the State they started behaving like a common business. Nowadays sports have evolved from a social activity to an economic activity but its umbilical cord with the State has not been cut since it is still performing a State function. However sport law is recognized today as an independent legal order that evolves in parallel to the State legal order. Also it is considered as a new market, in which competition rules should apply. Is it true however that it is really a market? Is there really competition in the legal sense between sports clubs in a championship? Is it possible to have competition in a legal sense when there is only one sport federation and only one championship for each sport?
