Sports law regulates the relations of real and legal persons in sports, determines the rights and responsibilities of athletes, trainers, referees, managers, fans and clubs; i.e., aims the uneventful management of sports activities. In case of any problem, the resolution of the disputes and sanctions lies in the field of sports law.
