Summary/Abstract: Corruption in sports receives little attention, although the first cases of corruption were recorded in ancient times. Only in the last couple of decades has sports corruption become the subject of special analysis by the purveyors of scientific thought. After defining the concept of sports corruption and pointing out the shortcomings of the given definitions, the author devoted himself to presenting some of the divisions of corruption in sports, giving examples so that readers could understand what kind of phenomena it is. As the Republic of Serbia propagates zero tolerance towards corruption in sports, we believe that it was necessary to present a normative framework regarding the incrimination of corruption in sports, which was done in the following part of the paper. In the conclusion, the observation was made that there are examples of corrupt behavior in sports, and especially in football, in the Republic of Serbia – it is obvious that none of the affairs received a judicial epilogue.
