Knowledge of the various provisions affecting the sports sector, the correct application and interpretation of these, the right help in determining the legal or contractual rules governing the relationships between parties, or the timely defense of the rights of each subject are essential elements for achieving the right legal certainty in sports practice.

Nowadays, the sports world is a fundamental element of the entertainment sector. It is a veritable economic industry that has preserved intangible and emotional characteristics, such as the passion of fans and the spirit of athletes’ self-improvement.

This is a well-established and developed economic sector that, as with other industries, is evolving rapidly with technological innovations and advancements related to digitization.

Technological innovation is evident both internally within the industry, through innovations such as the use of VAR or the intensive application of data and statistics for improving sports performance, and in its external projection, where online streaming channels or platforms like Twitch are growing exponentially compared to traditional media.

The ever-increasing rise of women’s sports is also noteworthy, reflected in record attendance at stadiums and increased television audiences, with a resulting increase in major sponsorships.

Looking to the future, we must be attentive to the opportunities arising from the emergence of technology-based startups and not lose sight of the consolidation of a true global phenomenon: e-sports. Their following is expected to increase in the next five years due to the amalgamation of sports enthusiasts and video game fans.
