Peculiaridades acerca do contrato de trabalho do jogador profissional de futebol no Brasil e suas devidas implicações jurídicas

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to make a detailed analysis of the peculiarities of the sports employment contract and its legal implications. It portrays the theme from the historical evolution of the emergence of football in Brazil, as well as its legislation, until the moment in which the sport and its practitioners are regulated as a profession, which is governed mainly by the special law No. 9.615 of March 24, 1998, better known as Pelé Law. The Sports Law is recognized by the Federal Constitution of 1988, so that it covers all, without exception. The sport that emerged as a diversion, with the passing of the years and the constant phenomenon of globalization, found extraordinary commercial land legal directions, of stratospheric salaries, becoming a profession with millions of athletes around the world. Faced with this exponential growth, there was a real need for a legal normalization, so that the employment relations, in this field, are regulated and their fulfilment is mandatory.
