ABSTRACT
Privatisation of sports associations (as one of the two forms of sports organisations) is conducted according to general legislation on privatisation, if specific regulations of the Law on Sports have not designated differently. This paper tends to give a critical overview of the specific provisions on privatisation of sports associations. Their faults can be classified in two groups : one concerning the status of sports associations and the other concerning the post-privatisation status of a sports association. The arche-cause of these faults can be found in the avoidance to confront the truth that the most prominent sports associations have already become the owners of sports facilities, with a right of permanent usage of the land on which they are built. So, instead of privatising the land by converting the right of permanent usage to right of ownership, as in privatisation of companies, the Law on Sports stipulated rules which could cause inextricable entanglements.
