ZAKLjUČENjE UGOVORA IZMEĐU SPORTISTA I SPORTSKIH ORGANIZACIJA PREMA ZAKONU O SPORTU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE IZ 2016

Abstract

Since there can be no sport without players, for efficient functioning of sport system, based upon the fundamental values of sport and sporting spirit, it is of essential importance to regulate relationship between the players and their spors organization (clubs) appropriately. New Law on Sport from 2016. has replaced previous Act from 2011 and it has regulated the relationship between the players and sport organizations in significantly different way comparing to previous law. All players can be divided into amateur and professional players. An amateur player need not to be in contractual relation with his/her club, but it is possible to conclude two contracts: scholarship contract for underage player to improve sport performance and contract on performance of sporting activity. For the status of an amateur player, it is not important if he/she receives compensation for sport performance, noting that going in for sporting activity according to the contract on performance of sporting activity is considered as work outside the employement in accordance to law. If a player performes sporting activity in the form of basic employment, he/she has the status of professional player, and the relationship between him/her and the sport club is regulated by employment contract. In his paper, the author analyzes the provisions of Law on Sport from 2016. about the status of players and contract they enter into with their clubs. This work indicates the problems that exist in the practice.
