Legal Aspects of the Players' Agents Licensing System in Football
Journal Title: Choregia - Year 2007, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Sport entities have always tried to protect their autonomy from interventions. This status has been seriously put into question by the authorities of the European Communities and especially by the Court of the European Communities. One of the most recent cases, where sport authorities were confronted with European competition law, was the one involving players’ agents licenses. At present, the reader can find a summary of the famous «Piau Case» (C-171/2005) tackling problems such as whether private organisations like F.I.F.A., whose main statutory purpose is to promote football, have a rule-making power in the issuance of players’ agents licenses, taking into consideration that these rules do not have a sport-related purpose; regulate an economic activity that is peripheral to the sporting activity in question, and touch on fundamental freedoms.
