Contrato laboral en deportista profesional.

Abstract

Sports Law is a branch of law, which in Ecuador has not been fully developed. The employment contract for a professional athlete, turns out to be novel, because it was not considered that the practice of a sport, should be veiled by the Ecuadorian labor regulations. Although in our country, one of the sources that most moves the economy is sports entertainment, especially soccer, there is no consolidated basis with which the employment relationship between professional athletes and contracting sports entities can be regulated. The present thesis will focus on detailing the special characteristics of the sports work contract and how it differs from the generic work contract, its concept, principles, modalities and content, as well as determining if Ecuador has enough regulation for this type of contracts, which for our country can become uncommon, reaching the point of having to use international regulations for the solution of conflicts between professional athletes and sports institutions and establishing if in the Ecuadorian legal system, there is adequate legislation for its effective development.
