On the legal status of sports teams and professional athletes

Summary/Abstract: The document discusses the legal status of sports clubs and professional athletes in the Czech Republic. Historically, athletes were considered employees of enterprises, often seen as amateurs despite receiving income for playing sports. Today, athletes are compensated for their actual performance, leading to complex legal relationships between athletes and clubs. The document highlights the lack of significant legal literature on this topic, both domestically and internationally. It examines the structure of sports clubs, which are mostly civic associations, and the financial aspects, including sponsorships, ticket sales, and player transfers. The document also explores whether sports activities can be considered a business activity and the implications of such classification. It delves into the legal definitions of professional athletes and their potential status as self-employed individuals or employees. The text concludes by discussing the challenges in defining the legal nature of sports clubs and the need for clearer regulations.
