La nuova categoria dei lavoratori sportivi tra professionismo e dilettantismo

The Italian legislative decree of 28 February 2021, n. 36, has deeply amended the regulations on sports employment contracts.The essay focuses particularly on a few aspects of the reform which have not been addressed properly, since the reform appears to be, in several parts, not taking into account the actual situation of the amateur sport. More speci cally, by equalizing situations that differ from each other, the reform appears to have failed to take into proper consideration the peculiarities and the actual development of the relationships that arise in the varied sports world.
