Registration is now open for the VIII Sport and Global Governance Conference, with the following themes: Global sports governance; Lex sportiva and regulatory autonomy; and From soft law to rights.

Contracts play a crucial role in the world of sport, particularly long-term contracts. Contractual agreements form the foundation of transnational sports governance, sports governing bodies are all formally the product of a specific time of contract (be it in the form of an association or corporation) often justifying the autonomy of sport and its private governance at a (more or less far) distance from the state. This workshop proposes to explore the role of long-term contracts in sport and their characteristics through a variety of theoretical and methodological lenses.

The Sport&EU 19th annual conference will be organised by the University of Naples Federico II in Naples, Italy, on 30th June and 1st July 2025. The organizing committee is now open to receiving proposals for individual papers. As each year, the Sport&EU conference strives to have a distinctly multi-disciplinary character. ​Following our traditional policies of equality and diversity, Sport&EU encourages PhD students and young career academics to submit their proposals for this conference. Equally, we specially encourage female and non-binary academics to submit their proposals.

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?
