Summary/Abstract: Sports law is one of the newest branches of the legal system. It is determined by the fundamental principles and specific normative solutions belonging to the constitutional, civil, criminal and administrative law. It is indisputable that sports from its creation to this date, was carried out on the basis of certain pre-established rules. These special pre-established rules provide fulfillment of the core values on which the sport is based represented by the fundamental principles that provide the fair play and free competition. In fact, the interaction that occurred from the relationship between sports and law as two separate phenomena that are each individually developed, provided the emergence of the sports law as a separate branch of law. This article aims to highlight the need for legal intervention in sports and sports activities and emphasize that sports law is independent legal discipline.
