The sports industry is undergoing an unprecedented evolution. On one hand, elite competition generates massive financial flows; on the other, grassroots sports increasingly reinforce their constitutional dignity as a social value and a source of psycho‑physical well‑being (Art. 33 of the Constitution). In this context, Italy is preparing for major events — Milano Cortina 2026, Nitto ATP Finals, America’s Cup 2027, Italy–Turkey Euro 2032 — which require modern infrastructure and strategic management of sports tourism.

In this dynamic scenario, Justice in Sports emerges as the fundamental pillar ensuring equal conditions and effective protection for all stakeholders, from clubs to investors. Today, the system must respond to crucial challenges: the imminent Reform of the Italian Sports Justice System and the awaited ruling of the EU Court of Justice in the “Agnelli case.” Originating from the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR Lazio), the case addresses essential legal issues: the compensatory jurisdiction of the Administrative Judge and the international scope of sanctions for violations of sporting loyalty.

GA-Alliance is promoting a high‑level technical and institutional discussion to analyze the current framework and future scenarios. The goal is to assess the legal and economic impact that these reforms and European rulings will have on the sports market. A necessary appointment to understand how the new rules of the game will transform the entire sector, ensuring legal certainty and financial competitiveness in an increasingly interconnected global market.
