Abstract

This paper focuses on a particularly timely area of European Union law: sports. The unique characteristics of sports policy within the European Union, as defined by the legal framework established in the Treaty of Lisbon adopted in 2007, are notable, given the multifaceted nature of the subject. Key issues such as the free movement of persons, competition rules, and labor development conditions are among the matters we aim to address herein. In particular, the recent judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in FIFA v. L. Diarra (Case C-650/22), resolved through a preliminary ruling referred by the Court of Appeal of Mons (Belgium), provides an opportunity for a detailed analysis. This case intertwines elements of EU institutions and policies with fundamental principles of EU law as firmly established in the jurisprudence of the CJEU, such as proportionality and free competition.
