OS “DIREITOS ECONÓMICOS DE TERCEIROS” SOBRE OS ATLETAS PROFISSIONAIS: MITOS, LUZES E SOMBRAS

Abstract

Abstract: This article deals with the issue of the so-called “third-party ownership” of professional athletes, discussing whether these arrangements reduce the athlete to a mere commodity and which should be the answer given by the sports institutions (mainly FIFA) to this phenomenon: to regulate or to ban it?

Keywords: FIFA; “federative rights”; “third-party ownership”; professional athlete.
