Sažetak
In circumstances where cross-border mobility of things and people was taken for granted, the pandemic scale of the SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic (colloquially called COVID-19 or coronavirus) resulted in dramatic and, until yesterday, unimaginable consequences. Namely, in the regular course of things we mainly focused on its positive effects, but the current epidemic has completely exposed its „other face“. COVID-19 proved to be the best „stres test“ for cross-border mobility of persons and cross-border economic relations and pointed out all the weaknesses of excessive reliance on globalization per se. The effects of COVID-19 on every aspect of life and on humaity as a whole can be called colossal. Numerous sectors, including sports, were „killed“ by the epidemic. Most sports competitions, especially regional and global, have been cancelled or postponed (in)defiitelly. Federations and organizers of sports competitions have found themselves in major trouble due to the inability to meet their contractual obligations to sponsors, the media and other contracting parties. The intention of the autor of this paper is to try to answer a question that bothers many these days, and that is the possibility of excluding or limiting contractual liability by invoking force majeure.
