Abstract(s)
Lex Sportiva is an autonomous de-territorialised legal system, derived from the specific nature of sport. Nevertheless, it is subject to interactions with other legal systems, including the EU Law. As these two legal systems are essentially transnational, their interaction has a great impact on sport. During the last fifty years, this interaction has developed significantly, due to continuous case law, soft law and hard law produced by EU institutions about sport-related matters. Therefore, the historical evolution of that interaction is assessed, highlighting its three stages and the key cases and norms that marked each of them. Subsequently, current issues of the tension between Lex Sportiva and EU Law are assessed, based on very recent cases. Following this, it will be possible to identify the trends of evolution on the interaction between the two legal systems.
