Call for Papers | From Walrave to the Super League: fifty years of jurisprudential activity in sport by the Court of Justice of the European Union | Universite Libre...
Fifty years ago, in 1974, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU} started its jurisprudential activity in the field of sport when it stated that sport, as an economic activity, falls under the scope of EU law. The recent ruling in the case of the Superleague means a new step in consolidating a real sports doctrine by the Court. Considering media noise around the ruling and its political connotation,it is a good opportunity to reflect on the interdependence of media and sport: Can professional sports keep their own identity, or is it going to become a mere sub-category of audiovisual products?
