Abstract

The authors addressed the topic of the development of sports law in the Republic of Slovenia, both from historical and analytical perspectives. A new Sports Act (ZŠpo-1) was recently adopted in Slovenia in order to replace a previous – and somewhat outdated – Sports Act (ZSpo). This framework act regulates basic requirements for the organisation and implementation of sports activities. The article includes a presentation of the most important changes that affect the organisation of sports in Slovenia. Other issues related to the area of sports law can generally be solved by applying general provisions (e.g. from Code of Obligations, Criminal Code and other fundamental acts). In addition to the historical development of Sports Act, the article also includes the analysis of some of the most important general acts that can be applied to sports-related issues.
