The Legacy of Bosman: Revisiting the Relationship Between EU Law and Sport

In December 1995, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment in its most famous case to date: the Bosman Case.

Twenty years later, this book explores in detail how this landmark judgment legally and politically transformed the relationship between the European Union and sport. Written by leading academics in the field, the ten contributions in this book reflect on how Bosman fundamentally shaped the application of EU law to sport and its transformative effects on sports governance.

The book’s innovative perspectives on the Bosman ruling makes it important reading for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers concerned with EU law and Sports law.
