SPORTS LAW AT THE CURRENT STAGE OF CHANGES AND REFORMS OF THE CURRENT LEGISLATION OF UKRAINE

Abstract

By the beginning of the new millennium, a common understanding of the role and place of sport in the state, society and personality had developed in the world’s leading countries. Being an integral part of social life, sport is often called the socio-economic phenomenon, one of the most important parts of the foundations for building modern social values and culture. Sport is a social phenomenon that has a tremendous impact on various spheres of society: economy, management, culture, education, international relations, political processes, and, most importantly, the nation’s health. Today, the country is in a fragile phase of development and change. We have never before been able to change the internal situation and system. But it is important to focus not only on general issues but also on more everyday ones such as sports. The level of development of sport is always an indicator in the world of the country’s development on the international stage, the health of the nation and its spiritual and patriotic filler. Today, sports law in the country is just beginning to develop and become established, but it can already be seen that almost every leading law firm in the country provides services in the field of sports law separately. Unfortunately, there is almost no legal regulation in the field of sports in Ukraine. Recently, however, both administrative and criminal liability have been introduced for some violations, which is a good signal. It is necessary to cover the analysis and improvement of the legislation, because only in this way will the legal and actual development of the industry be achieved. The analysis of national and foreign legislation, works of scientists is carried out in this work, and directions of further reformation and development of the field of sports and physical culture are developed. The correlation of the norms of the domestic legislation with the norms of the international legislation and the introduction of the necessity of introducing our state into the international sports institutions are also analyzed. Developing approaches will help develop amateur and professional sports, take another step in the fight against corruption and improve society.
