Abstract

In analyzing the principles of sports law, it is clear that the law covers a wide range of issues related to human life, and the institution of sports is considered a complex and adventurous social phenomenon. The expansion of sports has accompanied by new issues such as how to conclude contracts and their resulting responsibilities. Many people are engaged in sports activities - either professionally or non- professionally– for whom, under the contract, assignments are created for a period of time. A sports contract consists of one or two subjects that establish an unbreakable relationship with each other, so that if the performance of each is rejected, the other party also refuses to fulfill its obligations. The main nature of any contract is defined according to its main obligations. The sports contract can be considered the Achilles heel of the current legal problems in the sports community. Sports contracts follow certain conditions; general conditions that are the basis of contracts and are mentioned in Article 190 of the Civil Law and specific conditions that are considered according to the rules and regulations of sports and the rules of federations. Consequently, in case of violation, according to the types of contractual and non-contractual responsibilities, people shall compensate the damages. The evolution of sports law depends on the interaction of sports activities and human behavior and ethics. In fact, the progress of sports rights is possible by setting comprehensive and specific laws, humane behavior and positive and fair performance and restoring the rights of the damaged one.
