Derecho deportivo o derecho del deporte en Colombia, una rama del derecho que despierta gran interés en el siglo XXI: un enfoque en el fútbol.

Abstract

The present work was designed to respond to a need and a demand, for which sports law or sports law in Colombia was investigated, focused on a branch of law that arouses great interest in the 21st century, specifically in soccer.he sports phenomenon is linked to human activity and is even something that concerns man as such. This raises the question of the relationship between the sports norm and the State law, since it is necessary to analyze its autonomy or dependence from the perspective of law. It is not usual to find that two disciplines as different as law and sport can be seen as closely related as will be evidenced through this writing, since sport is no longer a simple leisure activity, but has become a business of commercial exploitation, especially football. For the same reason, it needs to use legal mechanisms and procedures, when the sports and disciplinary ones are insufficient. Over the years, a need has arisen in Colombia to regulate professional sports, especially football, which is why we can find sentences and decisions of tutelage of the Constitutional Court, in which concepts were developed, interpreted and unified about of fundamental rights in order to guarantee legal certainty for as many workers as possible. Through systematic analysis, as an epistemological strategy, the methodology applied was descriptive, since, with the information collected through books, magazines and the Internet, it was possible to collect information on sports law in Colombia, since it is a subject, little addressed in Colombia.
