A efetividade do direito desportivo brasileiro diante dos desafios modernos do esporte

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the development and particularities of Sports Law in Brazil, highlighting its historical evolution, the fundamental principles that govern it, and its normative sources. The research contextualizes the growth of sports practices in the country and the need for a solid legal structure to regulate the relationships between athletes, clubs, and sports entities, considering the increasing professionalization and commercialization of sports. The methodology adopted includes a qualitative approach, based on a bibliographic review of academic works, legislation, and regulations governing Sports Law in Brazil, with emphasis on the Federal Constitution, the Pelé Law, and the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice. Descriptive analysis methods were used to examine existing legislation and identify the main doctrinal and jurisprudential discussions concerning the rights and duties of athletes, the organization of sports justice, and contemporary challenges such as the fight against corruption and doping. The results highlight the importance of Sports Law in ensuring the integrity of sports, protecting the rights of those involved, and guaranteeing fairness in competitions. Furthermore, the study points to future challenges, such as the need to improve anti-doping legislation and combat match-fixing. The study concludes that strengthening sports justice and continuously updating regulations are essential for the healthy development of sports in Brazil.
