Abstract (Swedish)
Uppsatsen behandlar den europeiska idrottsmodellens förhållande till EU:s konkurrenslagstiftning. I synnerhet problematiseras de europeiska idrottsförbundens monopolställning och detta ska vägas mot intresset av att beakta idrottens specifika karaktär, som uttrycks i artikel 165 FEUF.
Uppsatsen belyser de centrala aspekterna av den europeiska idrottsmodellen samt de mål som präglar EU:s idrottspolitik. I uppsatsen redogörs för relevant praxis, som visar på att artikel 165 FEUF inte innebär att idrotten bör särbehandlas men att det finns en villkorlig autonomi som accepterar idrottens särdrag under förutsättningen att de anses nödvändiga. Som komplement till praxis utforskas olika synsätt på reglering, autonomi och kommersialisering genom... (More)

Som komplement till praxis utforskas olika synsätt på reglering, autonomi och kommersialisering genom att jämföra den europeiska idrottsmodellen med den amerikanska motsvarigheten samt genom att lyfta relevant doktrin.
Uppsatsen argumenterar för att förändring är nödvändig och att en balans mellan idrottens autonomi och efterlevnad av konkurrensrätten kan uppnås genom proaktiva åtgärder från EU. Uppsatsen betonar vikten av att bevara den europeiska idrottsmodellens solidaritet och fokus på utbildning, sociala och kulturella aspekter, samtidigt som den anpassar sig till det föränderliga landskapet av kommersialisering och konkurrens.

Abstract
This essay examines the relationship between the European sports model and EU competition legislation. Specifically, it addresses the monopolistic position of European sports federations, weighing this against the need to consider the specific characteristics of sports as expressed in Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
The essay illuminates the central aspects of the European sports model and the objectives that shape EU sports policy. Relevant legal precedents are presented, demonstrating that Article 165 TFEU does not imply that sports should be treated differently. Instead, it indicates a conditional autonomy that accepts the unique features of sports, provided they are deemed necessary. In... (More)

Relevant legal precedents are presented, demonstrating that Article 165 TFEU does not imply that sports should be treated differently. Instead, it indicates a conditional autonomy that accepts the unique features of sports, provided they are deemed necessary. In addition to legal precedents, the essay explores various perspectives on regulation, autonomy, and commercialization by comparing the European sports model with its American counterpart and referencing relevant scholarly works.
The essay argues that change is necessary, advocating for a balance between the autonomy of sports and compliance with competition law through proactive measures by the EU. The essay emphasizes the importance of preserving the solidarity of the European sports model and its focus on education, social, and cultural aspects while adapting to the evolving landscape of commercialization and competition.
