Résumé

This handbook is the result of 30 years of lecturing in several universities across the globe and the experience that the authors acquired as academics, lawyers, sports judges, and arbitrators in the sports world.
They analyze the historical and exhaustive case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union deciding on the economic dimension of sports disputes.
The handbook also covers the EU Commission decisions as well as other European institutions acts dealing with manyfold features of sport.
The authors thrive to focus on the sometime fraught and complicate relationship between the European Union and sport over the years with an interpretive methodology made easy and smooth.
They aim to provide the readers, in primis law students, with a complete jurisprudential collection of documents along with an overview of the EU legal and policy framework.
In this perspective, the five main sections of the handbook are designed and drafted in an essential and simple style so that the readers could immediately grasp the legal and policy issues at stake.
The first section deals with the freedom of movement of workers within the EU and ban on discrimination as reviewed by the very early jurisprudence (Walrave Koch) and confirmed by landmark cases like Bosman until the latest one, FC Antwerp v. UEFA.
The second section is dedicated to sport’s economic dimension, assessed under the lens of competition law as was applied in the most significant European jurisprudence (Meca Medina) until the recent Superleague and ISU cases.
The third section focuses on the Commission decisions and relevant judgements of the Court of Justice concerning State aids, national public funding of sport infrastructures and events.
The fourth section deals with sport and EU personality rights, which is a matter likely to expand in the light of the very recent but also forthcoming jurisprudence on sensitive data protection issues.
The fifth and last section enlists and appraises the EU programmes and actions in the field of sport.
For the sake of completeness, reference is also made to the pending and important cases (FIFA v. BZ, FT v. FIFA, ROGON GmbH & Co. KG et others/Deutscher Fußballbund eV (DFB), CD Tondela – Futebol, SAD et Others/Portuguese Antitrust Authority, PFA, AIC and UNFP v. FIFA, Seraing, Italian Football Federation and Italian Olympic Committee) before the Court of Justice on which the latter is going to rule over the course of the next few months.
A selected bibliography is detailed for the students who wish to widen their knowledge and go forward in this fascinating area of law.
Finally, the authors wish to sincerely thank Durante Rapacciuolo and Paolo Stancanelli for their valuable comments and suggestions and Anshul Ramesh for the linguistic revision.
