Abstract
New Slovenian Sports Act of 2017 brought the new legal institution, the Sports Ombudsman. On April 1, 2018, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, appointed Rožle Prezelj as the first Sports Ombudsman in Slovenia. He was appointed for a period of five years. The procedure with the Sports Ombudsman is informal, confidential and free of charge. His activities are focused primarily on the protection of athletes and sports workers' rights. The Sports Ombudsman may not render formal and binding decisions, but may make recommendations, initiatives or perform mediation and negotiations.
