New EU study highlights athletes’ Rights at major sporting events

ACES welcomes the recent publication of a comprehensive study by the European Commission on the protection and promotion of athletes’ rights in the context of major sporting events. This study, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aims to spotlight the unique challenges athletes face, both on and off the field, during high-profile competitions.

The report delves into various rights-related issues, ranging from health and safety standards to anti-discrimination measures, fair remuneration, and the safeguarding of athletes’ personal and professional integrity. By providing in-depth analyses and recommendations, the study serves as a valuable resource for event organizers, policymakers, and sports governing bodies to improve support and protection frameworks for athletes.
